PROMISES TO KEEP

So that my children live on unafraid
I will champion the crusade
of my promises to keep
to slay the dragon as it sleeps
to smother the flames before they leap
to smile the eyes before they weep
to change the course of the nuclear holocaust fleet
to raise the vision of  peace to it's feet
before we are all buried too deep
some of my promises to keep

So go, go my little angel
and let your heavenly voice sing
to fulfill all your sweet dreams
of happily ever afters and beautiful things

And as my father was promised
by his father before him
that never again would fear rule
small minds within
but from the heart of love
the blood would flow
into a warm sweet glow
of peaceful faces of all races
learning that love was the core
of  promises of evermore

And you have my promises to keep
to give to your children
whom you've yet to met

So sleep sleep my little angel
and let your heavenly voice sing
to fulfill all your sweet dreams
of happily everafters and beautiful things
while I stand over my promises to keep

DREAM DREAM DREAM
PEACE AND HARMONY
