The Weeping Whirlwinds - I Promised Lyrics

You came into this world, so innocent, so sweet
With a light in your eyes, and a rhythm in your feet
We felt it in our souls, your heartbeat and your plans
Bless you little child, bless your little hands
You came, you moved us, but barely a wave
You didn't blink but I didn't think your heart was not brave (I know you are)
Nor that you wouldn't make it, make it to this day
Because I promised you, you would see the sun today
(I promised)
In the quiet, in the light, you made your place
You made your place (its ok)
With no promise to stay, it's not a race
It's not a race (sweet baby Grace)
With whispers soft and sound
In the darkness, you murmured, "I'll be around" (I'll be around)
And now you lay in peace, more than dust in a little vase
You live in our hearts, sweet baby Grace
