Promise of you 
It sleeps in the air 
The air that I breathe 
And I know that it's true 
Don't have to convince myself to believe 
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man 
So much love wasted 
Slip right through my hands 
See it in the eyes of the lonely 
As they make their weary way 
Shimmer in the eyes of longing 

I hear it say 
Promise of you 
It sleeps in the air 
The air that I breathe 
And I know that it's true 
Don't have to convince myself to believe 

To believe... 
What secrets sleep in the heart of the night 
Dreams of salvation 
Slipping out of sight 
In the shimmering moments of twilight 
Closing up the shine 
Whisper on the wind of a rescue 
Savior in time

Promise of you 
It sleeps in the air 
The air that I breathe 
And I know that it's true 
Don't have to convince myself to believe 

All this time 
I've been fighting my own private war 
All this time 
You were the peace I was looking for
