Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you
Every word I ever said was true
But I can promise you this:
I'm gonna fall--blown over like a ship at sea
By the howling sins of history
Oh, but don't you forget
To hold up my arms
Like Moses in the desert
When the battle ran long
Hold up my arms
We can go at this together
When my arms aren't strong
I want you to know that I'm prouder than a peacock, babe
You light me up just like a birthday cake
When you walk in the room
And I just wanna make you proud
So, baby, when I let you down
What I need you to do
Is hold up my arms
Like Moses in the desert
When the battle ran long
Hold up my arms
We can go at this together
When my arms aren't strong
Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you
Every word I ever said was true
But I can promise you this:
I'll do my best to try and do my very best for you
It's the very best that I can do
It's the best I can give
So hold up my arms
I said hold up my arms
Like Moses in the desert
When the battle ran long
Hold up my arms
We can go at this together
When my arms aren't strong
