my arms

i'm the kind of person that will hear a new 'favorite' song and will get addicted, listening to it over and over and over.  i'll put my iPod on repeat1 and just have it running through my brain all day as i go about all my business, sometimes not even really listening sometimes very fixated.  anyway, my latest addiction is In My Arms by Plumb and at first i have to say i was more in love with it just for the musical aspect and didn't even really know what the song was about, until the 50th time or so.  i sat down and really listened to the words and it was really amazing that it's a song she's singing to her child, and the message has made me love it even more.  a message that our childish fairy tale dreams may not come true, and how she's sad that there will be a time when her child realizes that for herself, and how we keep our kids safe in our arms.  it's the song play that should be playing first, and here's the lyrics so you can read them for yourself.

In My Arms

Your baby blues 

So full of wonder 

Your curley cues 

Your contageous smile 

And as i watch 

You start to grow up 

All I can do is hold you tight 

Knowing clouds will raise up 

Storms will race in 

But you will be safe in my arms 

Rains will pour down 

Waves will crash all around 

But you will be safe in my arms 

Story books full of fairy tales 

Kings and queens and the bluest skies 

My heart is torn just in knowing 

You'll someday see the truth from lies 

Knowing clouds will raise up 

Storms will race in 

But you will be safe in my arms 

Rains will pour down 

Waves will crash all around 

But you will be safe in my arms 

Castles they might crumble 

Dreams may not come true 

But you are never all alone 

Because I will always 

Always love you 

Clouds will raise up 

Storms will race in 

But you will be safe in my arms 

Rains will pour down 

Waves will crash all around 

But you will be safe in my arms

I only hope that it's true, that i really can keep my kids safe in my arms.  i'll try, for as long as they'll keep coming back to them.
