The Promise

[Verse 1]
When you're born you make a promise
When you die it is fulfilled
That in all your days among us
You'll do just what you will
That in your indecision
Disinheriting a child
When you tear apart the forest
Just as sacred and as wild
You're in decision
You made a promise

[Verse 2]
When you're born you make a promise
When you die it is fulfilled
That you cannot take it with you
It'll stay just as it's built
So in harmony with nature
As the parent to your child
You will leave it as you found it
Just as sacred and as wild
You're in decision
You made a promise

[Verse 3]
When you're born you make a promise
That you will die and die you will
All your power is for nothing
If power is to kill
You can use your power for sorrow
Or to make your children smile
They're the same as tomorrow
Just as sacred and as wild
You're in decision
You made a promise

[Outro]
You're in decision
You made a promise
You're in decision
You made a promise
You're in decision
You made a promise
You're in decision
You made a promise
