Aquilina, Lauren - The Promise I'll Make Lyrics






Strip me down ‘till it’s just my bones
We look different but we share this home

Underneath it all
I’m a skeleton; you’re a skeleton
I can only hope
I can offer you some protection

I’m so sorry
This world could not keep you safe
I’m sad and I’m angry
I’m looking for words but I can’t explain it

It won’t wash the blood from their heads
But I will love you as hard as I can
Try and make the world understand
Something needs to change

That’s the promise I’ll make
That’s the promise I’ll make
That’s the promise I’ll make
That’s the promise I’ll make

I don’t know what it’s like in your shoes
I can only imagine what you’re going through

Underneath it all
I am human; you are human
I don’t understand
Their delusion, the confusion
I’m so sorry
This world could not keep you safe
I’m sad and I’m angry
I’m looking for words but I can’t explain it

It won’t wash the blood from their heads
But I will love you as hard as I can
Try and make the world understand
Something needs to change

If we all start doing something
Maybe this won’t happen again
If we all start doing something
Loving all strangers, treating them like friends

I’m so sorry
This world could not keep you safe
I’m scared and I’m angry
Looking for words but I can’t explain it

It won’t wash the blood from their heads
But I will love you as hard as I can
Try and make the world understand
Something needs to change

That’s the promise I’ll make

    2018 what hppend I love your voice and songs

  9. F.... A....

    Lauren...I realize you probably don't take requests, but you have no idea how much your music means to me. I first heard your music about three years ago, and I was going through a really hard time. Your voice just lifted me up, and the lyrics made me feel happier than I've been in a long time(the first song that I heard was, of course, "King")."Lilo" and "Wanderlust" really just speak exactly what I feel, and I always want to sing along. I looked all over the Internet for karaoke versions of these songs, but I couldn't find any.So, to direct your attention back to the afformentioned thought about you probably not taking requests, well...I realize that you haven't posted in quite a while, and I doubt you'll ever see this comment, but please, if you have the time, could you consider posting karaoke versions of "Lilo" and "Wanderlust"? If you do end up reading this, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to read my comment, and thank you so much for being such an incredibly inspirational and heart-healing artist.

    try and make the world understand something needs to change

    that's the promise I'll make
    that's the promise I'll make
