the promise i'll make
Singer: lauren aquilina
strip me down 'till it's just my bones
we look different but we share this home
underneath it all
i'm a skeleton; you're a skeleton
i can only hope
i can offer you some protection
i'm so sorry
this world could not keep you safe
i'm sad and i'm angry
i'm looking for words but i can't explain it
it won't wash the blood from their heads
but i will love you as hard as i can
try and make the world understand
something needs to change
that's the promise i'll make
that's the promise i'll make
that's the promise i'll make
that's the promise i'll make
i don't know what it's like in your shoes
i can only imagine what you're going through
underneath it all
i am human; you are human
i don't understand
their delusion
the confusion
i'm so sorry
this world could not keep you safe
i'm sad and i'm angry
i'm looking for words but i can't explain it
it won't wash the blood from their heads
but i will love you as hard as i can
try and make the world understand
something needs to change
if we all start doing something
maybe this won't happen again
if we all start doing something
loving all strangers
treating them like friends
i'm so sorry
this world could not keep you safe
i'm scared and i'm angry
looking for words but i can't explain it
it won't wash the blood from their heads
but i will love you as hard as i can
try and make the world understand
something needs to change
that's the promise i'll make
