A promise is a promise,
An oath I will not break,
And will I keep it near me,
With every step I take?
A promise is a promise,
An oath I will not break,
And will I keep it near me,
With every step I take?
Well maybe always means no,
But it has to be that way,
So if you find yourself stuck,
Try your luck,
And maybe it'll turn out your way.

(Bridge)

So keep it like a promise,
Like one you kept so long ago,
Keep it like a promise,
Like everything we used to know.
