I didn’t plan it this way
Well nobody ever does
Now this new truth is here to stay
And I don’t know
If I should lose myself
In the subtle meter of prayer
(lose myself)
Or the grey smoke of the dreamer
(lose myself)
I do know that I might find myself in you…
Keep the promise
Keep the promise
The world is painted with many brushes
Many colours many artists
I’m as much a masterpiece as you
Tell me that the words you said were true
It’s only a twisted little ribbon
It’s not everything I am
A life magnified, a lens before the sun
Every touch every taste
Every shade of light and sound
I cannot pause - I cannot waste
This new life I have found
Or should I just lose myself
In the subtle meter of prayer
(lose myself)
Or the grey smoke of the dreamer
(lose myself)
I do know that I might find myself in you…
Keep the promise
Keep the promise
The world is painted with many brushes
Many colours many artists
I’m as much a masterpiece as you
Tell me that the words you said were true
It’s up to you
It’s up to me
It’s the power of one
The power of all
What can you do
What should I be
It can be done
before we fall
It’s down to you
It’s down to me
What can you do
What should I be
It can be done
Before we fall
Before we all fall
It’s only a twisted little ribbon
It’s not everything I am
But should I just lose myself
In the subtle meter of prayer
(lose myself)
Or the grey smoke of the dreamer
(lose myself)
I do know that I might find myself in you…
Keep the promise
Keep the promise
The world is painted with many brushes
Many colours many artists
I’m as much a masterpiece as you
(lose myself)
Keep the promise
(lose myself)
Keep the promise
