All's not well upon these shores
some indecisive battles, some major wars
I've tried to keep y promises
what have you been doing with yours?
A promise is a thing you say
and a promise makes you feel okay
but I look at my promise and I gotta say:
I made you and I can break you

Things have a way of coming about
first comes knowledge, then comes doubt
you're so close to losing me
and you haven't really figured it out

A promise is a sacred trust
you pray, you promise, you adjust
have faith in my promise if you must

I made you and I can break you
