Loving Arms - Rheostatics

It takes a trip, a step away from your own home

To see more clearly what otherwise you wouldn’t know

Like what makes a seed--sewn in garden fabric--grow

Leave it up to the sun to shine, the rain to fall around

Leave it up to the earth to lie down and lay the ground

For something like love

It takes a trip, a step away from what you know

To trace your family back as far as time can go

To see what made it and will forever let it grow

Leave it up to the loving arms to carry it along

Leave it up to the beauty of love that’s travelled on

It didn’t go it alone

Leave it up to the smallest pieces everything is made of

They didn’t go it alone. They hang on with loving arms

Leave it up to the loving arms
