Did you hear the good news
You don't have to run and hide
You can drop all your defenses
His arms are open wide
There'll be love and laughter
When you finally give in
And the celebration's waiting to begin

There's a time
When you're going to understand
That your heart
Isn't up to your demands
It's a lie you keep telling yourself
You get by with nobody's help

In a crowd
You're the master of your soul
Unafraid, resolutely in control
You play the part
Of the angry young man
Protеct yourself
As long as you can

Did you hear the good nеws
You don't have to run and hide
You can drop all your defenses
His arms are open wide
There'll be love and laughter
When you finally give in
And the celebration's waiting to begin
Are you sure
That the world was never planned
Were you there
When the universe began
What's the use
Of all the books that you read
If you don't find
The truth that you need

Did you hear the good news
You don't have to run and hide
You can drop all your defenses
His arms are open wide
There'll be love and laughter
When you finally give in
And the celebration's waiting to begin

Did you hear the good news
You don't have to run and hide
You can drop all your defenses
His arms are open wide
There'll be love and laughter
When you finally give in
And the celebration's waiting to begin

Did you hear the good news
You don't have to run and hide
You can drop all your defenses
His arms are open wide
There'll be love and laughter
When you finally give in
And the celebration's waiting to begin...
