Arms of Time

Look now - I'm standing on my own

The speed - how quickly I have grown

Away from the cradle - away from the shore

All that I wish I have - and hope for evermore

We build - through little highs and little lows

And you - watch over till we know

Our way from the cradle - strike out from the shore

Then - with a smile look back - to the way it was before

For this is now - in the arms of time

Hold me tight - your arms in mine

Each little step - brand new day

Help me find my way

Scarlett ribbons - red balloons

Sisters laugh to dancing tunes

Pick up phones - sing alphabets

Wrap your arms around my neck

Got your blanket by yourself

Climb the chair - reach the shelf

Little paws upon the wall

Little pause - don't wipe them all

For this is now - in the arms of time

Hold me tight - your arms in mine

Each little step - brand new day

Help me find my way

Look now - we're standing on our own

Look now - the speed that we have grown

Look now - before this moments gone

Make a vow - take a bow - look now - look now
