     A promise is a promise 
     Something you have to keep 
     Or else the person you made it to 
     Will hurt inside quite deep 

     A promise is a promise 
     You should always fulfill your word 
     For if you go ahead and break it 
     You will never again be heard 

     Promises are quite vital 
     They build upon a person’s trust 
     Relying on you to carry through 
     Because believing is a must 

     Many people promise things 
     And break them just as soon 
     Personally, I think those folks 
     About as crazy as a loon 

     For the more promises you break 
     The more people seem to be wary 
     And they don’t believe you anymore 
     Making it almost scary 

     You’ll find yourself left alone 
     Separate from the rest 
     All because you didn’t keep your word 
     Don’t you know it’s for the best? 

     So go ahead, do what’s right 
     Keep that promise that you made 
     And always try to right your wrong 
     For if you don’t, it’s a dire trade
