With Arms Wide Open

Sometimes you can hear a song a million times, and never understand its true meaning.

The day after we found out we were pregnant, my husband heard the song "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed playing on the radio. Ryan loves Creed, he even has the CD with the song on it, yet he never listened to the lyrics before now. And once he did, he sat there completely shocked, as the lead singer described his exact emotions that began just 24 hours prior.

I thought this story was really sweet, and it shows a side of my husband that most people don't see.

"With Arms Wide Open"

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything...oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open
