I Promise

Let this road make you
Into all that you will be
Let this course take you
Relive all your life with me
These sentiments are cruel
But I have made my own rules
In light of all that I have done
By my hand and with this gun
I want you to understand…
All the lives I have surveyed
And the loves I have arrayed
Yes, I’ve been a fool
Live through tomorrow
I promise to be fair
Live through tomorrow
I promise I’ll be there
This life will mold you
With the face of your twin
These hands will hold you
Embrace the path within
Follow circles in this guise
And the stillness in your eyes
I want you to realize
It’s so hard to meet your stare
In the light of evening air
Yes, I’ve been a fool
This road make you
Into all that you will be
Let this course take you
Relive your life with me
This life will mold you
Into the face of your twin
These hands will hold you
Embrace this path within
