Entrance - Promises lyrics

Time is hard to understand And even harder to explain Trying to keep up with the second hand Is enough to drive anyone insane I promised myself by the light of the moon I'm gonna change my life I'm gonna change my tune I'm gonna fill my heart with a love so strong I'm gonna rise up singing a brand new song If we only kept half of our promises This world would be a much better place to live First we have to accept that it is what it is Stop trying to forget, we only get what we give Well maybe you're tired, just like me Of trying so hard to be free If we could rise above our fear of change, we'd see That, through the eyes of love, its all the same Time is a cruel yet forgiving friend Who slaps your face and then holds your hand Leaves you starting from scratch all over again In the ruins of your best laid plan Standing on a precipice of a metamorphosis Spread your wings now bu*terfly Goodbye now, empty chrysalis If we only kept half of our promises We might even earn the right to exist Instead of regret, we might learn to forgive Instead of survive, we might learn how to live.
