My quote of the week 16 is taken from the song “Arms Wide Open” by Creed. The song is about a first-time father, welcoming his new child into the world. The song gives me goosebumps, every time. The lyrics are filled with so many emotions.
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is gonna change
I closed 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 now everything has changed
I’ll show you love I’ll show you everything.
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.
If you haven’t heard the song before, you can read the full lyrics here or watch the music video on YouTube.
I just love the message of showing your child love & everything, with arms wide open. And the wish for his child is so touching. Do you have a wish for your child?
