Arms Around the World
Broken hearts, crying eyes
Wait alone in the dark of the night
It's time we went beyond
The walls of our own lives
It's time we bridged the distance
It's time we heard the cries
One by one, hand in hand
Heart to heart
Oh, we've got to understand
There's so much more to life
Than living day to day
We've got to make the difference
We've got to make a way
Let's be the hands that comfort
Every cold and lonely man
Let's be the feet for those
Who do not have the strength to stand
Let's be the love that reaches out
To every boy and girl
Let's be the arms that reach around the world
In a world full of fear
There's still hope
And the answer is clear
Inside our souls
We've got a power from above
A special kind of courage
A special kind of love
Let's be the hands that comfort
Every cold and lonely man
Let's be the feet for those
Who do not have the strength to stand
Let's be the love that reaches out
To every boy or girl
Let's be the arms that reach around the world
Together, we can make it happen
Together, we can see it through
Together
If we can learn to help our brother
There's nothing we can't do
No, there's nothing we can't do
Let's be the hands that comfort
Every cold and lonely man
Let's be the feet for those
Who do not have the strength to stand
Let's be the love that reaches out
To every boy and girl
Let's be the arms that reach around the world...
