Bless These Heavy Arms

V1

When my eyes open

Awash in light from

Another morning alive

I wanna hear you laugh

I wanna hear you cry

Just wanna hear you use your lungs

Call it god, call it happenstance, a second chance

But I can’t lose you

I can’t lose you

I can’t lose you again

CH

oh bless these heavy arms

For they must lift this heart

V2

When I close my eyes

I can see your life

Tiny ember set ablaze

You’re still laughing and

You’re still crying and

You still breathe another day

Call it luck, call it fortunate, a barely miss

But I can’t let you

I can’t let you

I can’t let you go

OUT

Oh bless your sturdy heart

It surely lifts these arms
