You’ll know the one you seek,
the one you’re waiting for,
who holds you when you’re weak
and shakes you to your core,
despite of all your differences,
you compromise the least for.
Remember what it means
to give yourself to love,
to a childhood dream
despite of all the odds,
giving in completely,
admitting your defeat.
Outside I’m strong, but inside I’m small.
Your words warm me and tear down my walls.
I learn to let go, my fears to disarm,
’cause when you hold me, I’m a child in your
arms, a child in your arms.
I’m just a child in your
arms, a child in your arms.
Oh, I’m just a child.
You’ve heard it all before.
“Don’t give yourself to love.
Don’t let your guard down, or
you’ll lose the final war.”
Forget your fears and wave
your white flag once more.
