Father's Arms

"Alright, okay, oh yeah Keep your cool and don't hurt nobody It all lies within you", so the dying say And you believe in the words of some buried prophet "Alright, okay, oh yeah" They nod their heads in unanimous approval And it makes you fell good 'till the night wind calls And the darkness comes whispering down the halls And you're a scared little child who dreams he falls, come Fall in your father's arms Fall in your father's arms Fall in your father's arms Alright, oh yeah, uh huh You turn, you run, you hide A friend comes bid you travel He smiles like an angel but behind the eyes Lurks the door of the death-house and the big surprise "Alright, okay, oh yeah" You assure them while composure is breaking And they watch as you run and hit the wall Slump to the ground, and begin to crawl To the edge of the cliff where you start your fall, come Father's arms waiting To carry you, man Through all the changing Back home again
