Keeper of the Promise

I was born into this world so young

Lost my mother, had to learn to be strong

Mother,

I love you,

heart stays true

{soft fingerpicked guitar, intimate vocal} She passed away when I was five

years old

Told me be strong,

now the story unfolds

My brother was born,

we said our goodbyes

Sister holding on through the tears in her eyes {building vocal layers}

Mama we love you,

we will take care

For your children,

family stays near

Be realistic,

believe in me girl

I will die for you,

true words from my soul

{hook vocal harmonies, soaring lead}

Emma and Anthony, Santiago too

Older brother promise, I will see it through

Take care of the family,

no one left behind

Mama in the past,

your love we still find {soft ad-libs,

building intensity} We will be OK,

care for you always Friends and family in the hardest of days

Mama you have a son,

older brother stands tall

No one will die on you,

we answer the call {stripped back,

vocal only with piano}

Mama we love you,

we will take care

For your children,

family stays near

Be realistic,

believe in me girl

I will die for you,

true words from my

soul

{full band, ad-libs,

emotional peak} You will be OK,

care of you always

Mama we love you,

family stays {fading vocal harmonies,

gentle guitar}
