Promised Forever

Words and Music by Dawn Xiana Moon

You promised me you'd be there
Forever, no matter what you care
Wrap me in your loving arms
Hold me safe from this world's charms
But fleeting charms

I don't know what is wrong
With me, I just follow the throng
Fix my eyes on you
I wish I really loved you too

Draw me near, bring me close
I feel so weak and so cold
Renew the love, fan the flame
That burns only for you

I long for stillness in your presence
Sit in awe at your essence
I don't know how to stop
I keep running until I drop
Exhausted I drop

What strange sickness have I allowed
To take control of me
Like the path I keep going
And going and going and going
Give me rest, give me peace
Father, I long for you
Nothing else will do
I long for you
