Promise on my knees(B)

Promise on my knees [Verse 1] She was eight years old On a thrift-store rug With scuffed-up shoes And a hand-me-down mug She bowed her head By the bedside glow Said, "God, I got a dream And I need You to know" [Pre-Chorus] If You let me sing If You let me rise I’ll never forget Those hungry eyes [Chorus] I made a promise On my knees I’ll feed the children I’ll house the need I made a promise Hear me say When I get rich I’ll give it away [Verse 2] Now she’s got a name On a bright marquee But she keeps that little girl Close inside of me Every shiny stage Every silver ring She still sees the faces Of the ones in need [Pre-Chorus] Every sold-out room Every crowded night She hears that vow And it pulls her right [Chorus] I made a promise On my knees I’ll feed the children I’ll house the need I made a promise Hear me say When I get rich I’ll give it away [Bridge] Build more tables Open every door Warm old hands And feed the poor If my name goes far Let my love go farther Let the world get softer Let the nights get warmer [Chorus] I made a promise On my knees I’ll feed the children I’ll house the need I made a promise Hear me say When I get rich I’ll give it away [Outro] From a little girl To a woman grown She won’t keep that blessing Just for her own I made a promise On my knees I’ll feed the children I’ll house the need
