Promise
"And I'll go on to lead you home." ~the Goo Goo Dolls
You came into my life
Completely unexpected
I never really understood
How things work out the way they do
You never asked to be
Thrown into this crazy
World at war
But you are here
I look into your eyes
You didn't choose this—
It chose you
Took you away from the
Mystic Moon
Lying next to you under the stars
Beneath this endless sky
I see the longing in your face
Searching
You are lost
And in this moment
I make a promise
One I intend to keep
Someday I'll bring you back there
To the place that you call home
I'll help you find your way.
I owe so much to you
You've changed my life
Saved me time after time
You've been to hell and back for me
And I'll protect you
With everything I am
I see now how much I need you
I see just how much you mean
But I can't say it out loud
The words just won't come out
I guess for now I'll have to settle
For giving you all I have
Protecting you with everything
And helping you find your way
I swear someday I'll bring you home
I promise I'll bring you back there
Because you never asked for this
To be swept up in a beam of light
Torn away from all that you knew
Only to be thrust into
A world at war
How did you get caught up in this mess?
I'm sorry
And if there's one thing I can do, then it is this:
I'll keep my promise
No matter what it takes
I'll bring you back there
Somehow I'll find a way
I swear by everything I am
I swear I'll lead you home.
