Promise

The first time I ever saw you
You had that far away look in your eyes
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you
And the whole room filled up with light

Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you
Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
Now the rich just try to chain you (?)
You got to keep your fire burning inside

Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you
And it seems to love watching you fall
I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen
You got to pick yourself up and move on

Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire

Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight

Promise me
You won’t let them put out your fire
Put out your fire
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire


Promise: Slash & Chris Cornell <3

  1. V, what song is this? the words are so powerful.. I really really want to hear the song.. because the words by itself really touched me and I could relate to them well... I am dying to hear the song now! thanks for posting these lovely lyrics.

    Never let anyone or anything put out your fire. The world will try to change you... you always need to stay true to yourself and what you love... because as this world tries to change us all and try to make us what they want us to be, little love is ever seen as important and its sad because the world never reeally akcnowledges the truth. LOVE makes this world go round.
