When I'm lying in the arms
I'm completely at peace with the world,
And the dark clouds around me
Just fall away into the night,
When I can't sleep at night
And I just stare at the moon,
Listening to your beating heart,
To know that you're with me,
And the love that you give me,
Keeps me from falling apart,
You are near, you are here;
When I think about the ways
And all the ones who've gone before,
Well I believe they can see us
Hear every word that we speak,
They hear every word that we say,
When I have my lover with me,
When I'm looking at my children
And the world where we live,
And the violence coming every day,
Well I know I'll protect them
With the power of my love,
To the very last drop of my blood,
Can you hear me, I am near,
Can you see me, I am here
When I'm lying in the arms
