In My Arms
Holl & Rush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your face and feel your heartache
I see the trace of the tears you have cried
The silent sound of the hurt left unspoken
You were strong enough to hide
All your life, no one´s ever shown you
What it´s really like to have someone to hold you

In the arms of love, heaven´s just a heartbeat away

I´ll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
In the arms of love I´ll lift you above all madness
All of the pain
And you´ll be safe and warm here in the arms of love

We search this world for a little compassion
For just one look through the eyes of a child
For one more chance to be a believer
While there´s still a chance in time
All your life no one there beside you
Close your eyes and let this moment find you

In these arms of love, heaven´s just a heartbeat away
All of the pain
And you´ll be safe and warm here in the arms of love

High above the world where dreams are sailing
Far beyond the brightest shinin´ star
Where everything you´ve waited for is waiting

In these arms of love, heaven´s just a heartbeat away
I´ll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
In the arms of love I´ll lift you above all madness

All of the pain
And you´ll be safe and warm here in the arms of love
