The Promise

This gift you gave
From the beginning
Warm light, dry land
Blue water brimming

Ooh, ooh x2

And more, from the earth
There came a growing
From seed to bloom
All the while you were sowing

It was love, love
Given in the water
And peace, God's peace
Written in the letters
Of the earth, God’s earth
Given with the promise
Can we keep it?
Can we keep it?

Ooh, ooh x2

And stars in the night
To gaze on them kindly
Great light, cool moon
All aligned in the sky, see

From watеr came light
And so from the land
To feed and not to fight
To stand hand and hand

It was love, lovе
Given in the starlight
And peace, God's peace
Given in the sunshine
On the earth, God's earth
Given with the promise
Can we keep it?
Can we keep it?

Out from the silence
I hear a voice, I follow it onwards
You whispered to me
I am reminded
Of every gift you gave

So Spirit lead me unto the waters
Unto the earth you made
Teach me the secret to ever care for
To ever look after it

It was love, love
Given in the water
And peace, God’s peace
Written in the letters
Of the earth, God's earth
Given with the promise
Can we keep it?
Can we keep it?
Can we keep it?

Ooh, ooh x8
