Our word. The safety and security of a promise. Between two lovers
Between two friends. What else do we have
I'd ask, except the ability to promise?
It implies the ability to choose, to make choices, and stick to them
Some would say that all is predetermined, that everything's a ruse
The ability to choose is an illusion, or that nothing's absolute
But I contend that in the end our word is what decides
To prove those lies as empty and baseless so, besides

When I do make a promise
I keep it in my heart, and remember the gift of free will
To do my part, to keep at bay the sorrows 
Caused by vicious lies that eat their way
Into your life, a counterfeit disguise

Conscience is a funny thing, that also proves the truth
But those who need it most are those who don't believe what's true
The villainy of liars comes around to eat them up, but don't believe they'll listen
Self-deception always trumps. So, what are we to do about this world of lies?
It starts with you dear listener, and what's behind your eyes

Do all that you can to disavow what's false, especially the cruel belief
That you don't have control. A child knows what's right and wrong
But somewhere somehow lose their way. To benefit or profit
Risking all to win the day. That shiny car or sprawling home
Fortune favors those who hone wisdom when they lose
And if they win, trouble begins to seep into their lives
Selfishness is wicked when the way is lost and pain's inflicted

I don't mean to tell you what you already know is true
I'm sure you give your heart and soul and contemplate release
But help me out now as I try to remind all of truth
It doesn't hurt to spread the word and backup what you've heard

The promise of this solo man is to do all that I can, to give it back to everyone
And pitch in where I can. The road ahead is difficult, I won't lie to you
But with the guide of dignity, there's nothing that we cannot do
If everyone would listen to their hearts and compromise
The appetites that hold them back and promise not to lie
Then we might get somewhere to start
And that would be something to behold, for sure

Integrity's a virtue that seems to me to be lost. You may not agree with all I say
But consider my position as though from a close dear friend

I don't pretend to know everything, but the simple things are true
Like how I treat my fellow friends, that's how I shall treat you
So, don't let me down. Impress me with your tastes
And I will recommend we meet, in another time and place

The harvest at the summer's end has guided me this far
But I can't bear to now pretend that I will live to see it, even from afar
It does not matter, I didn't take a vow for my own sake
I swore to elevate the good for all, for the inherent gains we'll make
And I believe that all I sow will come around to me
Maybe in another life, where we can simply be

The visions seen and lessons learned are with me now for good
Although I cannot force them on the others, how I wish I could
Then we might occupy a world that's just and fair
But the freedom to choose is vital to what makes us learn to care

For when you lose a precious thing that cannot be replaced
Then you will know the worth of all the challenges you face
To overcome the misery of the broken-hearted fall
And seek out other travelers who relate to one and all

The mystery of why we're stranded in a limbo land
Makes sense to me now, I believe I understand
We're here to elevate the Earth, improving life for all
A project world to celebrate, a spring home to renovate
And all you give comes back around, to show you that you're found
