What's in a promise
We used to pinky swear under yellow lights
You were sitting comfortably on my handlebars
As we cruise through the neighborhood
We bend dirty street corners
And whispered secrets til my grandma would call me home

What's in a promise
You worked yourself around the clock so we would have enough
The bodega and the pizza shop knew all of us by face and by name
They would feed us when you were double shifting at Beth Israel
We went to church and swore that God would always guide us
And you always have

What's in a promise
Hope lives in your eyes
I've seen you in all stages, when you express joy, sadness, anger and doubt
Belief is what got you through
In your darkest moments, when everything has been stripped away
All you have is your word
And while our city 
And our politicians break their promises

Our word is bond
Bonds we make with
Trust
Faith
And Love

The Bible once talked about the promised land, but it wasn't a physical place
It was a state of mind, a state of being

Be trust
Be faith
Be love

Become your promise
And may all of your dreams come true
