You never promised there would be no cost
You never promised there would be no loss
You only promised you’d be there for me
So help me see
You’ve got a plan for me

You never promised I would always stand
You never promised I would understand
You only promised you would hold my hand
So help me see
You’ve got a plan for me

In darkest times
When I’m convinced that noone cares
Noone’s there
The load is great
It weighs me down
I lay it here
Don’t let me drown

You never promised that I would not fall
You never promised I could have it all
You only promised there’s no power so great
Not even death itself could separate me from your love
You’ve got a plan for me

You only promised there’s no power so great
Not even death itself could separate me from your love
You’ve got a plan for me
