What if everything you always took for granted was gone
And everything you ever thought was right was wrong
What if everyone you ever loved was torn
From the pages of your life
Would you reach out for tomorrow or try to turn back timeThese open arms
Will wait for you
These open arms
Can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
Will wait for youDid you really love the ones you said you'd love
That's right â?? did you make a damn of difference in somebody else's life?
Is there someone you can count on when you need a friend?
Can't you see I need a friend?These open arms
Will wait for you
These open arms
Can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
Will wait for youCan you live in your skin? Walk in your own shoes?
Can't win if you don't know how to lose
Crawl, fall, try
You're gonna learn to flyThese open arms
Will wait for you
These open arms
Can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
Will wait for you
