I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
As 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
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

I'm not sure if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
But I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

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...
