[00:00.00] India.Arie
[00:05.57] Promises
[00:09.54]
[00:20.53] When i think about the turn my life has taken
[00:28.73] I know it's because of you,
[00:33.30] that i receive so many blessings
[00:37.94] I had a home but no privacy,
[00:42.30] i didn't know a thing about my legacy
[00:46.38] When i realized you were there for me,
[00:51.12] i called on your name and you came
[00:53.76] And you did, just what you said,
[00:58.71] for that i'll love you forever
[01:02.10] You kept, your word to me,
[01:07.00] for that i'll love you forever
[01:10.92] A promise, is a promise in my eyes
[01:15.43] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
[01:19.40] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[01:23.33] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
[01:34.60]
[01:36.25] I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
[01:44.28] Blessed with a mother who loved him so,
[01:47.73] she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
[01:52.71] It wasn't easy for the two of them,
[01:56.88] but she knew she had to give him a chance
[02:00.60] At a better life, it was only right,
[02:06.44] so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said,
[02:13.65] for that he'll love her forever
[02:17.04] She kept her word to him,
[02:21.96] for that he'll love her forever
[02:25.90] A promise is a promise, in my eyes
[02:30.27] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
[02:34.47] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[02:38.33] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
[02:47.06] A man's only as good as his word
[03:08.18] Check this out
[03:10.28] Her wedding day and she's thinking about the way he won her affection
[03:18.32] She was so cynical about love because she didn't want to be heart broken again
[03:26.70] He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so
[03:34.10] She took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real
[03:42.61] And he did, just what he said,
[03:47.41] for that she'll love him forever
[03:50.93] He kept his word to her,
[03:55.70] for that she'll love him forever
[03:59.64] A promise is a promise, in my eyes
[04:03.94] Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
[04:08.11] The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[04:12.07] A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
[04:20.17] No way, no, there ain't no way
[04:29.18] A man's only as good as his word
