about

This is a Cuban-Afro Salsa, initiated by the birth of a granddaughter to one of our band members, whose mum is Cuban!

The words are about my sweet wife and my promise to her. :)

lyrics

Outside of time, I saw a change in my star chart.
old hopes, new dreams , revitalized my heart.
I made a vow, as the dreams said, to find my missing part;
when we first talked we found we shared a common mystic path.

Expectation,
destination,
anticipation from the start..

Chorus: Maybe faith is hope for me
hope that love will care for me
grace and love from outside of me;
it's a promise of lots more, more than I can ever percieve;
I often make mistakes and I know that I can grow more,
so you may sense my uncertainty.
more than my reason can ever believe, I still trust
the promise to me.

Actually things don't go the way some stories say they do;
It wasn't simple, it wasn't easy, but over time, we grew.
And when we finally got together and I was holding you
The promise came through;
Did faith make it come true?

We didn't know how the future would go. So Faith was no certainty.
My faith in you grew as I trusted that you
have confidence in me.

Chorus: Maybe faith is hope for me
hope that love will care for me
grace and love from outside of me;
it's a promise of lots more, more than I can ever percieve;
I often make mistakes and I know that I can grow more,
so you may sense my uncertainty.
more than my reason can ever believe, I still trust
the promise to me.

Things don't turn out as you plan.
You know the way it goes;
The Devil grabs his chances and only heaven knows;
the reason's undisclosed.
Even so, we row.

Instrumental

I trust the promise to me;
I trust the promise to me
I trust, I trust I trust I trust I trust the promise to me.
