lyrics

Promises

We’re no longer asleep
And we will mend our broken dreams
Cos we found our way
To move on to a better place

Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing

You sold us hopes and dreams
The likes that we’ve never seen
Said a change is gonna come
Not just for me but everyone

And we pray and pray on bended knees
Believing you will set us free
But I’m glad that I know
To run far away from you

Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah

Nearly every men, woman or child can stand adversity
But if you want to test man's character
Give him power, give him power, give him power

We gave you power to lead
Not to abuse us out of greed
We put our trust in you
You fed us lies and not the truth

Please don't pretending that you care
Give us back our stolen years
But I’m glad that I know
To run far away from you

Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
To me, to them, my friends, you see yeah, you see yeah

Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Finally your promises
Your promises don’t mean a thing
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
To me, to them, my friends, you see, you see yeah
