about

Words and Music: Sam Hill Jr

lyrics

Promises that can’t be kept
They said that you were a liar
and they try to decide what we should believe
Is it money hatred or power
Well you gave me hope
You took it well
I watched and you were unchanging
I’m glad that you never turned away
You never lost the fire in your eyes

I will sing until I die, Take my work and tell me lies
Well you can’t take away what a man doesn’t own
and you can’t steal the fire in his eyes

You can’t always believe what people say
You’ve got to find out for yourself
They want you to be and think just like them
and lose the fire in your heart
I took a book
I looked at my heart
Looked for reasons and found them
It’s not the same for you as for me
But the flame that burns is same

I will sing until I die, Take my work and tell me lies
Well you can’t take away what a man doesn’t own
and you can’t steal the fire in his eyes
Promises that can’t be kept
They said that you were a liar
and they try to decide what we should believe
Is it money hatred or power

Promises that can’t be kept
They said that you were a liar
and they try to decide what we should believe
Is it money hatred or power
Well I took a book
I looked at my heart
Looked for reasons and found them
It’s not the same for you as for me
But the flame that burns is same

I will sing until I die, Take my work and tell me lies
Well you can’t take away what a man doesn’t own
and you can’t steal the fire in his eyes
Well you can’t take away what a man doesn’t own
and you can’t steal the fire in his eyes
