Lyrics

I was afraid
I might never break through
that you had become
some kind of bullet proof
but I loved you anyways
and chose you just the same
and I cared for what I lost
and never mind the cost
in the arms of lovers and friends

I felt alone in the place I call home
when I longed for more you met me
angry in the dark
we sang our joy into light
you held me near
and whispered you belong
in the arms of lovers and friends

why are we running
we're not in the line of fire
if love is where we've been hurt
where are we to turn

if trust is a tree
we'd like to grow
we might risk breaking the ground
for it to sow
there'll be a forest I am sure
where we are seen and heard
and I've laughed and I've cried
and I will live and I will die
In the arms of lovers and friends
