Arms Around The World

*dedicated to single mothers*
(from the Rock&B album, "The Crush")

You lie there breathing slowly with your
Arms around the world
And no-one sees the pain you’re in

You drive your angel to the school
And watch his shell unfurl
Was it only yesterday you gave birth to him ...

Whoa-oa
Oh-oh
Do you know we idolize
But can’t comprehend the way you –
(Oh-oh
Whoa-oa-oa)
Raise the world atom by atom
And still have the strength to smile

After all
We’re all children of the One
Raise your face, let me kiss your lips
A woman’s work
A woman’s work is never done
Still, you decimate mere men
By just the sway of your hips ...

Whoa-oa
Ohhh-oh-oh
Do you know you captivate
Us, resuscitate us with your fortune? And
(whoa-oa
oh-ohhh-oh)
Can’t believe you’re not just
A figment of imagination, and
(whoa-oa
oh-ohhh-oh)
Do you know how much
Do you know how much
We love you?
