Well I just heard

the news today

It seems my life

is gonna change

I close my eyes

begin to pray

Then tears of joy

stream down my face

With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

Well I don't know

if I'm ready

To be the man

I have to be

I'll take a breath

I'll take her

by my side

We stand in awe

we've created life

With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

Now everything

has changed

I'll show you love

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

I'll show you everything

oh yeah

With arms wide open

wide open

If I had just one wish

Only one demand

I hope he's not like me

I hope he understands

That he can

take this life

And hold it

by the hand

And he can

greet the world

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

Under the sunlight

Welcome to this place

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

Now everything has changed

I'll show you love

I'll show you everything

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

I'll show you everything

oh yeah

With arms wide open

wide open
