One Promise Kept — DmitriiK

Текст песни

You said meet by the corner where the old shops close,
Rain on your jacket, split seam at the shoulder,
We were counting small change for the bus back home,
Making big plans with our backs to the cold.

Mama kept the kettle on, clock ran slow,
You drew a map on a receipt in blue,
Every wrong turn taught us where not to go,
Every long night made the next step true.

Give me time, let the hard days break,
I’ll keep one promise for the road we take.
When the sun comes up on the roofs we know,
We’ll stand a little taller than we did below.

Now the same old block got a fresh coat of paint,
But the corner store still knows what we owe,
You got a job, I got a name on a page,
Still take the long way past the place we called home.

No gold chain can tell what a quiet heart held,
No loud talk can buy back a year,
I watched you give your last meal away,
That’s the kind of wealth that keeps us here.

Give me time, let the hard days break,
I’ll keep one promise for the road we take.
When the sun comes up on the roofs we know,
We’ll stand a little taller than we did below.

One promise kept, one more mile behind,
We made it through with our names still ours.
