                    The Promise    (Mike Pinder)

%    The world, is full of people, some are trying to lend a hand
     The first book, ever written, was a symbol of our home
     Oh sweet, loving music, I hear your tender call

                      D7               Gm   Gm7      Eb
     To help us learn to recognise, so we can understand
     It came from solar heaven, where our life wave was born
     To me you are a river, pure love your waterfall

   Gm           Gm7        C              F               Bb
     That life holds many secrets, they stand before our doors
     We came in ships a-singing, the praise of one above
     A tide forever bathing, a rough and rocky shore

                      D7                  Gm    Gm7          C  /  /  /
     Admit the ones you're hiding now, so you may know them all
     Like children in a garden, our hearts were full of love
     Please take us on a journey, so we can learn some more

     To paintings on the rocks, gigantic Stonehenge blocks
     They filled my soul, with music of the spheres
     I dream by day, I dream by night

     The pyramids and the sphinx, the temples are the links
     It's been my goal for 9 long years, to write this song
     Through coloured rays I feel your might, and now I claim my right

     To lead us through, our past, so we might find ourselves at last
     So I can say, exactly what, I believe is coming down
     A son of God, eternal life, the promise of your rainbow light      Go $
