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

Which star will I be thinking of tonight

Tonight
Which star will I be thinking of tonight
Tonight


Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire

Put out your fire
You won't let them put out your fire
Put out your fire


Promise me
(Why don't you)

Promise me
(Why don't you)
Promise me

(Why don't you)
Promise me
(Why don't you)
