   with lyrics: 

   well i just heard, 
   the news today, 
   seems my life, 
   is gonna change, 
   i close my eyes, 
   begin to pray, 
   as tears of joy, 
   stream down my face. 
   end fig. 1

   with arms wide open............. 
   end fig 2. 


   repeat FIG 1, intro 

   well i dunno, 
   if i'm ready, 
   to be the man,

   i'll take a breath 
   i take her by my side,, 
   we stated all, 
   we've created life.... 


   Repeat FIG2,twice with distortion 
   with arms wide open, 
   under the sunlight, 
   welcome to this place, 
   i'll show you everything 
   with arms wide open

   i'll show you love, 
   i'll show you everything, 
   with arms wide open,
