Patty Larkin - Open Arms lyrics

You're born into a strangers' world You learn the language word by word Take a step and then you turn And you don't explain Mama hold her arms out too long Daddy makes his arms look strong Take another step and then you're gone And you don't explain And when the rain comes down You feel like a waste of time Fall into those Open Arms Don't explain The river runs along the road That's the story you get told They tore the mountain down for gold And they don't explain Teacher learned the truth from books Preacher did all that he could Reaching for you but it does no good And you don't explain And when the rain comes down You feel like a waste of time Fall into those Open Arms Don't explain It's all a patchwork from above It's all that you've been dreaming of And when you land you kiss your love And you don't explain Lover holds you when others go Covers you with another soul Stands behind you when you stand alone And you don't explain And when the rain comes down You feel like a waste of time Fall into those Open Arms Don't explain And when the rain comes down You feel like a waste of time Fall into those Open Arms Don't explain You're born into a strangers' world You learn the language word by word Take a step and then you turn And you don't explain
