[Verse 1]
You had to run away, run for your lives
You never had a say, fought for your lives
A nurse and an engineer
Made a new life, despite all the fear
Traveled cross a couple oceans here
Made a new life, despite all the tears

[Chorus]
I feel the pressure of your life
I don’t wanna let you down
But I’m not sure how
And I promise I’ll try
I promise I’ll fly
Promise I’ll make you proud

[Verse 2]
You met in Paris, it was snowing and glowing
Just one year later, you were married, you carried all the weight
You made a way to get us here
Guided by hope, fleeing from fear
I never knew a thing about fear
Because of what you did to get us all here

[Chorus]
And I feel the pressure of your life
I don’t wanna let you down
But I’m not sure how
And I promise I’ll try
I promise I’ll fly
Promise I’ll make you proud
[Bridge]
I know that you’ll never say
Just how proud you are of me
Even though it’s not the way you planned
I know you want the best for me
I get why it’s hard to see
This is who I want to be

[Chorus]
And I promise I’ll try
I promise I’ll fly
Promise I’ll make you proud
