Altered Paths - My Promise Lyrics

This is for my son or daughter
I pray your life is full of love and laughter
And that you may never feel your heartbreak
And you learn from all of my mistakes
This is for the hope the future brings
Watching you grow
The love and joy it brings
And I hope that you may never cry
And you'll learn to look your demons in the eye

My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
That's my promise to you

This ones for the winds of change
They've blown my way and rearranged, yeah
And told me that it's time to set aside my selfish ways
Move on to bigger 'n better days, yeah
This ones for my wife I love
I know I don't say it enough
But just know
That you mean the whole world to me... Yeah oh

My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
That's my promise to you

This ones for when my time has come
I pray that all the things I've done
Gives you the strength to overcome
Anything and all that stands in your way - Yeah
This is for my legacy
The one I thought I would never have
And as I sit
Looking back at my life
Knowing that it ain't
Quite as bad as I ever thought it would be. Yeah

My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
My promise to you is I swear I'll do
Anything and everything I can
I'll always have your hand
That's my promise to you
