Promises

Yeah!
Cell phones in the air, y’all know what to do right here
Yeah! (promises)
No matter what disappointments you face in this life, the promises of God will
always be true (promises)
Yeah! (promises)
Have you ever had the feeling like you wasn’t going to make it
Living with regrets from poor decisions you was making
Looking at the clock and all the time that you was wasting
Wishing you could put the past behind and erase it
Crippled, blind, and naked, but since you’ve been awakened
You want it all back--everything that’s been taken
Never been forsaken, and I ain’t been forsaken
He promised that, He promised that my latter would be greater
And honest, I’m holding on to every single promise
I’m holding on to every single word in His honor
I’m looking past the drama, the death that’s behind it
I’m reminded death is not a period, it’s just a comma
Yeah!
Promises, I know it ain’t looking good right now
But everything will be all right
I know you’re feeling like you want to throw in the towel
Don’t give up the fight
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right
Promises, promises, it’s hard to stay open
If I could get a penny for every promise broken
Then I would be a millionaire, billionaire, Oprah
Don’t think that, but you’re feeling dread
Feeling it’s dead over
Rated, disappointment makes it hard to keep hoping
Especially when you’re knocking and the doors keep closing
I know this, you’re waving white flags--keep focus
And think of Linsanity when he was on the sofa
Hold up, wait a minute I can tell you’re sick of waiting
I can tell you’re sick of holding on
Anticipating, it’s not the time to get impatient with the time that’s taken
Look at the character He’s shaping, I take it life
Promises, I know it ain’t looking good right now
But everything will be all right
I know you’re feeling like you want to throw in the towel
Don’t give up the fight
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right (promises)
Yeah
Ooh-yeah
Everything will be all right
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Yeah
Promises, I know it ain’t looking good right now
But everything will be all right
I know you’re feeling like you want to throw in the towel (throw in the towel)
Don’t give up the fight
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right
Hold on, hold on, you’ve got to hold on
Everything will be all right (promises)
Truth!
Promises, promises
Everything will be all right (promises)
Promises, promises
Everything will be all right
