Promises India.Arie

[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know it's because of you that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came

[Pre-Chorus]
And you did, just what you said, for that I'll love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever, uh-huh

[Chorus]
A promise is a promise in my eyes
Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
A promise is a promise, you can't deny, there's no way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
It wasn't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
