A Promise to Return
[Morning light + farewell sounds in the town]
[Verse 1]
New day, new body, new road ahead
Prima moved with wonder in every step she made
The group gathered their things, ready to move on
But first they said goodbye to the town they’d grown fond
The machines named it Preematown, a home for the lost and found
The old air conditioner, now mayor, stood proud on the ground
He skipped forward slowly, handed them a folded piece of paper
Ronnie’s eyes lit up — he knew that script right away
[Pre-Chorus]
“This is part of the scroll… a missing piece we need”
The mayor shrugged, “It was long ago… the memory won’t heed”
[Chorus]
A Promise to Return
We’ll be back when we know more
A Promise to Return
To the town that opened its door
You’re not forgotten, not thrown away anymore
We’ll come back for you… that’s what friends are for
[Verse 2]
They asked about the paper, who the people were before
The mayor said, “I can’t remember… it was long ago”
But Ronnie held it carefully, like it was fragile gold
Another clue, another mystery waiting to unfold
The group waved goodbye as they rolled down the path
Hearts a little heavier, but filled with quiet hope at last
Prima turned back once, screen glowing soft and true
“We’ll return… I promise. We won’t forget you.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ronnie cleaned the streets one final time
A small act of care, a quiet goodbye
[Chorus]
A Promise to Return
We’ll be back when we know more
A Promise to Return
To the town that opened its door
You’re not forgotten, not thrown away anymore
We’ll come back for you… that’s what friends are for
[Bridge — warm]
The road stretched forward, but their hearts stayed behind
A town of broken things, now with hope in their minds
One more piece of the puzzle, one more step unknown
But together they moved on… no longer alone
[Acoustic solo]
[CODA]
Toes was ready to lead the way
To his friend from across the way
Vendo was fully stacked and loaded
Ronnie was losing the battle with dust
Teemo packed with Preema by his side
For now this is farewell, this is goodbye
[key lift]
[Chorus]
A Promise to Return
We’ll be back when we know more
A Promise to Return
To the town that opened its door
You’re not forgotten, not thrown away anymore
We’ll come back for you… that’s what friends are for
[Outro — hopeful]
A promise to return…
We’ll see you again.
