Song Lyrics

I didn't promise you
Skyes painted blue
All colored flowers all your days thru
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 lite on your way
I give you truth when you need it
My help from above
My 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 victory without fightin' no laffs without woes

All that I promise
Is strength for this day
Rest for my worker my lite 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 id give you
Heaven on earth
A life with no labor no struggles no dearths
No earthy quakes no dry spells
No fire flames no drouthes
No slaving no hungers no bleezerds no blights

All that I promise
Is strength for this day
Rest for my worker my lite 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 ta pull home
My love for all races all creeds and all kinds

My flavors my savours my creeds of all kinds
My love for my races all colores all kinds
My love for my races all creeders all kinds
My savores my flavores my dancers all kinds
My dancers my prancers my singers all kinds
My flavors my savores my dancers all kinds
