Eastern Promises

Eastern Promises

Sun shining on the sea

Wading through the waves

Washing me in warm waters from your shores

Fill my soul with your eastern promises

Let your tide rise to meet my western shore

Take the fire from your soul and set the sea ablaze

Let it light up… light up the night

Fill the sky with your flames

Let it reach higher

Higher

Take me higher

Higher

Fill my mouth 

With your eastern promises

You’re a pearl plundered from the sea

Let me sleep under your cherry blossom tree

Your skin is warm Arabian sand

Stretched out before me

You’re a snake charmer

You've got me crawling on the floor

Hidden in splendor…shrouded in mystery

You’re the rhythm that moves me

Take me higher

Higher

Move me higher

Higher

Clothe me

In your eastern promises

I need a new revelation

Give me hope in my desperation

You’re a familiar place 

In a foreign land

Let me find refuge

In your eastern arms

Teach me your ways…Teach me your ways

I won't seek my fate in the stars

Or put my trust in a crescent moon

I just need your eastern promises

I will believe in you…I believe in you

All I need is you

You raise me higher

Higher

Lift me higher

Higher

Save me 

With your eastern promises

Higher…lift me higher

You lift me higher

Save me…you’re gonna save me

Save me with your promises
