I didn't promise you skies painted blue |
|
Not all colored flowers all your days through |
|
I didn't promise you, sun with no rain |
|
Joys without sorrows, peace without pain. |
|
All that I promise is strength for this day, |
|
Rest for my worker, and light on your way. |
|
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, |
|
Undying friendship, my unfailing love. |
|
I never did promise you crowns without trials, |
|
Food with no hard sweat, your tears without smiles, |
|
Hot sunny days without cold wintry snows, |
|
No vict'ry without fightin', no laughs without woes. |
|
All that I promise is strength for this day, |
|
Rest for my, worker, my light on your way, |
|
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, |
|
Undying friendship, my unfailing love. |
|
I sure didn't say I'd give you heaven on earth, |
|
A life with no labor no struggles no deaths, |
|
No earthquakes no dryspells, no fire flames no droughts, |
|
No slaving no hungers, no blizzards no blights. |
|
All that I promise is strength for this day, |
|
Rest for my worker, my light on your way, |
|
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above, |
|
Undying friendship, my unfailing love. |
|
I promise you power, this minute this hour, |
|
The power you need when you fall down to bleed, |
|
I give you my peace, and my strength to pull home |
|
My love for all races all creeds and all kinds. |
|
My flavors my saviors my creeds of all kinds, |
|
My love for my saviors, all colors all kinds, |
|
My love for my races all creeders all kinds, |
|
My saviors my flavors my dancers all kinds, |
|
My dancers my prancers my singers all kinds, |
|
My flavors my saviors my dancers all kinds. |
