Hold Up My Arms

Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you
 Every word I ever said was true
 But I can promise you this:
 I'm gonna fall--blown over like a ship at sea
 By the howling sins of history
 Oh, but don't you forget
 To hold up my arms
 Like Moses in the desert
 When the battle ran long
 Hold up my arms
 We can go at this together
 When my arms aren't strong
 I want you to know that I'm prouder than a peacock, babe
 You light me up just like a birthday cake
 When you walk in the room
 And I just wanna make you proud
 So, baby, when I let you down
 What I need you to do
 Is hold up my arms
 Like Moses in the desert
 When the battle ran long
 Hold up my arms
 We can go at this together
 When my arms aren't strong
 Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you
 Every word I ever said was true
 But I can promise you this:
 I'll do my best to try and do my very best for you
 It's the very best that I can do
 It's the best I can give
 So hold up my arms
 I said hold up my arms
 Like Moses in the desert
 When the battle ran long
 Hold up my arms
 We can go at this together
 When my arms aren't strong
