Promises

Trust in the Father, He'll make a way It's hard to make a living when there is no work The system's got you cornered, that is no joke Promises being made for a better life It's hard to understand it with children and a wife By the sweat of your brow, you shall eat bread But our leaders don't remember the promises they said You're left to your devices, you'll never get a break You find you're in so deep, there is no escape Can't trust in anybody, they're looking out for themselves Just trust the Almighty, He'll take you to a higher place Politicians of the world, they sell you a bag of tools They use and abuse us and turn us into fools Don't buy into the hype, they're up to their old tricks They'll promise you the world and sell you a bunch of bricks By the sweat of your brow, you shall eat bread But our leaders don't remember the promises they said You're left to your devices, you'll never get a break You find you're in so deep, there is no escape Can't trust in anybody, they're looking out for themselves Just trust the Almighty, He'll take you to a higher place Just trust in the Father, He'll give you His grace Just trust the Almighty, He'll take you to a higher place Promises they make, promises we take Oh, just trust in the Father
