If I had nothing to my name

But photographs of you

Rescued from the flames

That is all I would ever need

As long as I can read

What's written on your face

The strength that shines behind your eyes

The hope and light that will never die

And one promise you made

One promise that always remains

No matter the price

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

As we've always done

And you said the poison in a kiss

Is the lie upon the lips

Truer words were never shared

When I feel like lies are all I hear

I pull my memories near the one thing they can't take

And one promise you made

One promise that always remains

No matter the price

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

As we've always done

The books still open on the table

The bells still ringing in the air

The dreams still clinging to the pillow

The songs still singing in a prayer

Now my soul is stretching through the roots

To memories of you

Back through time and space

To carry home

The faces and the names

And photographs of you rescued from the flames

One promise you made

One promise that always remains

No matter the price

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

And dare to rise once more

A promise to survive

Persevere and thrive

And fill the world with life

As we've always done
