Promise by Duke Greene

I cannot in any way tell you what the chord progression is of this song. It is acoustic guitar and male vocals. Duke is a friend from high school and is an extremely talented singer song-writer. This song is up-beat and inspirational. Again, I'm a sucker for the words. It is the kind of song that makes you want to be a better person. Everone is a unique individual and should live accordingly. These are the lyrics.

I'm gonna sing a song today
Open untouched melodies, and set my heart to dancing
I'm gonna walk a mile today
Feel the air upon my face
And calm my mind again
And every time I promise myself joy and love and new-life bringing

I promise me
I'm gonna be the answer to my dreams

I will rise with the dawn
I'm gonna watch the setting sun
I'm gonna find my way
Not a single day will die without me in its life

I'm gonna close my eyes today
Thank the day for all the light that sets my soul to singing
I don't wanna live like yesterday
So I'm gonna change my ways
And change my mind again
And every time I promise myself joy and love and new-life bringing

I promise me
I'm gonna be the answer to my dreams

I will rise with the dawn
I'm gonna watch the setting sun
I'm gonna find my way
Not a single day will die without me in its life

But I, I want to be
The kind of man I'd want to be around
I'm gonna kiss the sky and shake the ground
I'm gonna shake the ground
Not a single blessed day of mine will die

I will rise with the dawn
I'm gonna watch the setting sun
I'm gonna find my way
Not a single day will die without me in its life
