hold you in my arms

when you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears

it was easy to see you'd been crying

seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe reigns

but who really profits from the dying

i could hold you in my arms

i could hold you forever

i could hold you in my arms

i could hold you forever

when you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions

my worried mind that you quiet

place your hands on my face

close my eyes and say

that love is a poor man's food

don't prophesize

i could hold you in my arms

i could hold you forever

and i could hold you in my arms

i could hold you forever

so now we see how it is

this fist begets this spear

weapons of war

symptoms of madness

don't let your eyes refuse to see

don't let your ears refuse to hear

you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness

i could hold you in my arms

i could hold on forever

and i could hold you in my arms

i could hold on forever
