I promise that one day I will
Do everything I can
To change my life’s direction
And become a better man



I promise that change is coming
For now life is just laughter
As for responsibilities
That will happen after



I don’t want to be responsible
Worry, care or frown
I want to just enjoy all things
Before I settle down



There’s lots of time left in my life
To change the road I tread
Why do you want to rush me
And demand I look ahead



I promise that the day will come
When I turn that leaf anew
But what’s the hurry I do ask
I have so much to do



I simply wish to do as I want
For all else not a care
I’ve many years left I do think
So why should I rush elsewhere



You say I’m irresponsible
I seem to have no sorrow
But that can wait I always say
Yes, wait until tomorrow



I’ve seen so many spend their lives
Seems to me they’ve wasted years
All because they care for now
And for tomorrow’s full of fears



What is this that is happening
The end is close it seems
I can’t die yet, please spare me God
I’ve that promise to redeem



Just give me another day or two
I will then learn to forgive
Perhaps if I accept you now
My God, you’ll let me live



Have I left it far too late
Was my life really so low
That although you tried to lead me
I refused that path to go



I promise God that I’ll be good
Accept you in my heart
Learn to love all others too
If you give me another start



Save me God I do thee beg
Don’t let me die like this
I haven’t kept my promise
And you know just what it is



I know I’ve had the chances
And I always did just mean
To keep that promise made many times
But I had time it seemed



Forgive me Lord is my last call
Before I part this Earth
Judge me not on promise failed
But how you feel my worth
