Christina Lux - Arms Wide Open lyrics

If I laid it out to you All my strange and secret rules If I turned into a wreck Would you stay? If mankind drowned in wars Hatred, bombs, blood and rape If compa**ion dies out Would we know where to go? If mother earth simply stopped turning Left us here In deepest yearning Overwhelming craving, wanting Would we know where to go? Would you be there with arms wide open If you knew all of this If you knew all of me If you saw our hearts colliding With the old bitterness Would you still stand here behind me Just in case... Could you bear the cries of woman Giving birth through Broken moons Grandma's still the one who hurts them As it's been for generations Could I bear more of this news Watching Rwunda everywhere Could I become a racist too Despite my wounded German roots? Love don't choose between black or white Jewish, m**m, Christian girl or guy But blindly pa**ing on tradition leads to fanaticism Would you be there with arms wide open If you knew all of it, if you knew all of me If you saw our hearts colliding With the old bitterness Would you still stand here behind me Just in case...Just in case I'd go mad Love don't choose between black or white Jewish, m**m, Christian girl or guy Blindly pa**ing on tradition leads to fanaticism Would you be there with arms wide open If you knew all of me, if you knew all of it Would you be there with arms wide open If you knew all of this, if you knew all of me If you saw our hearts colliding With the old bitterness Would you still stand here behind me Just in case...Just in case
