[Verse 1]
When I hold you in my arms, it's a breath of fresh air
When I hold you in my arms, I forget what's out there
All those people with their faces walking up the street
They don't have to say a thing. just look around and you can see

[Chorus]
New buildings going up, old buildings coming down
New signs going up, old signs coming down
You got to hold on to something in this life

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
The older generation, they got somethin' to say
But they better say it fast or get outta the way
All those gangsters with their crimes, they make it look so good
We've been blowing up the planet, just like an old neighborhood

[Chorus]
New buildings going up, old buildings going down
New signs going up, old signs coming down
You got to hold on to something in this life

[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
(When I hold you in my arms)
(When I hold you in my arms)
When I hold you in my arms (When I hold you in my arms)
When I hold you in my arms (When I hold you in my arms)
When I hold you in my arms, I forget what's out there (When I hold you in my arms)
(When I hold you in my arms)
