throw my arms around the world

(album: god's work - 2022)

I lay my belly on the ground
Press my ear against the earth
I can hear her cry inside
That she's never, ever, ever, ever, ever been heard

I fix my eyes upon the sky
Blinded by her worth
How we all deny and hide
That she's not dying deep inside, is so absurd

Oh, if I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back, love it back, love
I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little, heal a little, heal a little hurt
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I

My heart breaks that we let her down
Placating all the lies, yeah we'll sell her out as if she's
Jesus Christ, and we are Judas' kiss
What if your mom was crying out for love, 'cause God knows that she is

Oh, if I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back, love it back, love it back, oh
I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little, heal a little, heal a little hurt
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

I sometimes feel like I'm just a speck in the sea
I'm all alone as I, we are much more as we
You ever feel like that speck just the same as me
You're alone as you, we are much more as we
We are never just a speck in the sea
Even though I is I, we are much more as we
Look on with open eyes, we're the whole goddamn sea
We are much more, we are much more

I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back, love it back, love it back, oh
I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
I could heal a little, heal a little, heal a little hurt
I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back to life (love it back to life)
I could love it back, love it back, love it back, oh
I-I-I-I-I
If I could throw my arms around the world
Maybe we could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
We could heal a little hurt (heal a little hurt)
We could heal a little, heal a little, heal a little hurt
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Oh, if I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Oh, if I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

If I could throw my arms around the world, oh
If I could throw my arms around the world
If I could throw my arms around the world, oh
If I could throw my arms around the world
If I could throw my arms around the world, oh
If I could throw my arms around the world
