When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you´d been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it 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 in my arms forever

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It´s my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
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 the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don´t let your eyes refuse to see
Don´t let your ears refuse to hear
Or 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 forever
