Open Arms (Don't Explain)

You're born into a strangers' world
 You learn the language word by word
 Take a step and then you turn
 And you don't explain
 Mama hold her arms out too long
 Daddy makes his arms look strong
 Take another step and then you're gone
 And you don't explain
 And when the rain comes down
 You feel like a waste of time
 Fall into those Open Arms
 Don't explain
 The river runs along the road
 That's the story you get told
 They tore the mountain down for gold
 And they don't explain
 Teacher learned the truth from books
 Preacher did all that he could
 Reaching for you but it does no good
 And you don't explain
 And when the rain comes down
 You feel like a waste of time
 Fall into those Open Arms
 Don't explain
 It's all a patchwork from above
 It's all that you've been dreaming of
 And when you land you kiss your love
 And you don't explain
 Lover holds you when others go
 Covers you with another soul
 Stands behind you when you stand alone
 And you don't explain
 And when the rain comes down
 You feel like a waste of time
 Fall into those Open Arms
 Don't explain
 And when the rain comes down
 You feel like a waste of time
 Fall into those Open Arms
 Don't explain
 You're born into a strangers' world
 You learn the language word by word
 Take a step and then you turn
 And you don't explain
