The first time I ever saw you You had that far away look in your eyes And heaven's eyes shined down upon you And the whole room filled up with light
Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you Try to hang you up and mess with your pride Now the rich just try to chain you You got to keep your fire burning inside
Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire
Now sometimes the world tries to slap you And it seems to love watching you fall I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen You got to pick yourself up and move on
Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire Promise me You won't let them put out your fire Put out your fire
