The Promise

Church bells were ringing in her ears The promise of a season to be She knew all that is broken Will be made whole again Cause everything falls apart Crumbles to dust with time Except the promise that the broken Will be made whole again A heart fixed high up on a tree An angel moving through its boughs She knows the truth That the broken Will be made whole again Cause everything falls apart Crumbles to dust with time Except the promise that the broken Will be made whole again It all came crashing down Trinkets from the tree, shattered on the floor A falling star with her wishes spent, burnt out And the angel fell Everything falls apart Crumbles to dust in time Except the promise that the broken Will be made whole again Starring at the splintered glass How to pick up all the pieces While you lie in restful sleep, I lie awake at night We lost our guiding star Though tonight is the longest of nights I know the sun will rise again And all that is broken will be made whole Whole again Cause everything falls apart It all crumbles with time Except the promise that the broken Will be made whole again Will be made whole again
