The Promise

from Jongleur by Daniel Mandel

/

about

You can think of this as a song that captures the feeling of telling your best friend a secret playing underneath the kitchen table.

lyrics

THE PROMISE

I kept the promise

At least to myself
I’m still a child
in spite of myself
I always wanted
To live life this way
have this adventure
Discover this place

Aren’t we in love
Why don’t we just dance?
Why don’t we just fly?
When we get the chance?

What’s on the other side?
That scares us half to death
Aren’t we the love
That won’t allow itself

You kept the promise
At least you’re still here
still with this child
inside of this fear
You made your way
Along this same road
made this a place
To call this your own

Here we are so why?
Why not take that chance?
To walk into the air
Have ourselves that dance

The ground is where we were
It’s Not so far to fall
Not so much to lose
Aren’t we love after all?
