Promise & Dream

My heart was young
My sun rose over wide horizons
Shined a guiding light my way
My promise and dream before me
No care what the world would say

Beat of a heart
Live two sides to every story
Both can never ring true for you
You gotta turn and face this moment
And choose the hard fight for your truth

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming
Promise and dream of yesterday
Can't wait for another tomorrow
To live and breathe the dream of today
It's been a long time coming
My promise and dream
My promise and dream

There comes a time
Persevering through the darkness
Your soul pledged to a blind faith
No longer soothes this heartache
Your yearning no longer waits

Old bridges burn
Smoke and fire and penetration
Tides are turning everywhere
Across a wounded healing nation
New song of freedom fills the air

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming
Promise and dream of yesterday
Can't wait for another tomorrow
To live and breathe the dream of today
It's been a long time coming
My promise and dream
My promise and dream

Say something
Do something
Be something
Be strong
Walk on bae

We stare each other down across this great divide
We're not so different you and I
Arm in arm and side by side
We'd fight through these raging waters
Shoulder 'n' carry sons and daughters
With their hopes and prayers to find
Their promise and dream

[Chorus]
It's been a long time coming
Promise and dream of yesterday
Can't wait for another tomorrow
To live and breathe the dream of today
It's been a long time coming
My promise and dream
My promise and dream

[Outro]
Promise and dream
My promise and dream
Promise and dream
My promise and dream
My promise and dream
