you promised you would

Dear Father in Heaven
I cry out to you
Do to me the things that you promised you'd do...

Unchain my heart
unlock my mind
Fill me with the love that I'm trying to find

Heal my body
redeem my soul
Fill me with your Spirit, Lord, and make me whole

I empty myself
of this world to you
Please, Father, fix me...and make me new

I offer all I have
I promise all I am
I surrender all I was as the sacrificial lamb

Bring me to your light
release me from the black
and I will do all that you ask...I'll just love you back

Transform me...change me...
turn what was bad into good
I know you will, Father, because you promised you would

I've found the way

If I die today

would you cry today

Don't shed a tear me, for I'll have finally found the way

The way out of the rain

the way out of the pain

The way to escape this world that sometimes drives me insane

The way to end confusion

the way to end my sadness

The way to get away from this world and all its madness

The way to always see

all of those I truly love

To be an ever-watchful eye in the heavens above

I'll have found the way

to end the suffering, the strife

for I'll have found the Way and the Truth and the Life

in two more days, tomorrow will be gone

"Daddy, daddy, let's go out and play"

Tomorrow, son, daddy's busy today

"Mommy, mommy, can we go to the zoo"

Maybe tomorrow, sweetie, mommy's got a lot to do


Look at little Johnny, playin' all alone again

Mama's plannin' parties and daddy's working until ten

So Johnny sits in his bedroom with his best friend, Teddy

puttin' on his winter clothes and gettin' all ready

He laces up his boots and snugly pulls at his hat

grabs his Teddy and his sled as he hugs his kitty cat

He walks across the frozen lake lost in thought and wonder

Johnny never heard the ice break 'til the water pulled him under...

Johnny died like he lived, all alone, all alone

Another lonely child wishin' that some love were shown

The time is right now for us to get our love on

because in two more days, tomorrow will be gone


"Mommy, mommy, let's go have some fun"

Tomorrow, baby, I have to get this work done

"Daddy, daddy, let's play wild, wild west"

Tomorrow, angel, daddy needs to rest


Suzy rides her tricycle up and down the halls

She has three best friends but all three of 'em are dolls

She dresses 'em all up in different outfits every day

and tells 'em that she loves 'em so they'll never run away

The dolls never talk back, but if they could here's what they'd say

"Thank you, mommy, for stayin' home and playin' with us today"

A tear drops from her eye 'cause she thinks nobody cares

and then Suzy and her tricycle tumbled down the stairs...

Suzy died like she lived, by herself, by herself

because somebody took their love for her and put it on a shelf

Love our babies now, just get our love on

because in two more days, tomorrow will be gone

Soliloquy of a lone romantic

I give you all I am, as a man, and so much more

I give you my mind, I bare you my soul

I knew you were the one when you walked through the door

My time I gave you, but it was my heart that you stole


We were meant for each other, my precious dove

We can walk here forever, hand in hand

For the rest of our lives, truly in love

but there's one thing I need for you to understand



Should God take you first, though it would break my heart

no matter where you are, let me remind you

I cannot bear the thought of us being apart

and if you have to go before me, I promise I'll find you



You give all that you are, to me, as your man

You bare me your soul, you give me your mind

You knew I was the one before we even began

Your time I longed for, but it was your heart that I'd find


I'm your precious love, and we'll always have each other

side by side, until the day we die

Truly in love, we were made for one another

but there's one thing you know I can never deny



Should God take me first, I hope He cradles your heart

and no matter how long it takes, you'll be right behind me

Forgive me for the time that we'll have to spend apart

but if I have to go before you, I know that you'll find me

angel-9

Under the cover of night

or the sun's brightest light

He holds his head high

as he fights the good fight

With super-human compassion

and the kindness of ten men

Always helping others

over and over again

He has a vision of peace

even as peace is on the decline

Who is this hero?

They call him angel-9



She offers all she has

and asks only one thing in return

and that's we all do the same

when it comes to our turn

She says all will have the chance

to lend a helping hand

To spread one true love

all across the land

In her beautiful mind

every town will have a sign

"All are welcome here"

and it's signed "angel-9"



They don't wear a cape

nor a mask upon their face

They can't become invisible

or disappear without a trace

They can't fly above the skies

or make a building rise

Lasers don't beam

when they open their eyes

They're just regular people

with a spectacular design

and if we look in our own hearts

we are all angel-9
