With Arms Wide Open - Live At Freeman Coliseum / 1999

This next song is a song that's very personal to me
And it's kind of a mood swing in the show
It's a lot different than the last two songs
It's about personal insecurities and fears
About having to deal with responsibilities
And how you feel about welcoming a new life in the world that's yours
If you haven't had that happen to you already, I'm sure someday you will
This song's called, "With Arms Wide Open"

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
I stand in awe, I'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
Wide open

Thank you
