I dream a day that god will surface
To retrieve his nails and open your heart.
You'll say you’re mine for the ages
Just open your heart and say

"I swear on the cross"
Can you promise this to the grave
You'll take my name
Can you promise me?

Overseas and over mountains
A thousand years I've waited for her
To say the lines "from this day forward"
Just open your heart and say

"I swear on the cross"
Can you promise that to the grave
You'll take my name?
Can you promise me?

All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
No one knows how deep the waves we waded through.
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
No one knows how far apart we've stayed to get through.

I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through.
Can you say "I swear on the cross"
Can you promise that to the grave
You'll take my name?
Can you promise me?
