The only boy has gone astray. Sits there the day away. Holding on to memories, he won't let them fade. Sings away into the air, hoping you will hear his prayer. And slowly he starts singing, I'll make a promise, I'll be a better man in that. I sometimes fall short, but you gotta understand that. I must stand up straight. I must be brave, and I'll make this promise every Mother's Day. Seems like it's been so long ago. And it's still hard letting go. Because sometimes all the tears just overflow. But he will face the world, and we shouldn't be concerned. Because he remember that  I know that you're always with me. To comfort and to care. Please know that I will remember. To keep love always there. I'll make a promise. I'll be a better man. I sometimes fall short, but you gotta understand that. I must stand up straight. I must be brave, and I'll make this promise every Mother's Day. No matter where you are in life. No matter how tough things get, if I can fight, you can fight, we can fight together. If you're a true believer, I want you to put one finger in the air, to sing it with me. I'll make a promise, I'll be a better man in that. I sometimes fall short, but you gotta understand that. I must stand up straight. I must be brave, and I'll make this promise every Mother's Day.
