lyrics

mother's arms

playing soldier in the sand
you could control them with your little hands
you will long to be in your mother's arms again

big voice tells you it's time to go
you have no choice, you have to fight
don't think about what’s wrong or right

where will i find you when you're afraid
where can you hide from the pain
where will i find you when the sky falls low
oh, where will you go - oh, where will you go

now you have dreams of war in your head
you've got scars still burning
it's lonely in the dark ,you said it's lonely

where will i find you when you're afraid
where can you hide from the rain
where will i find you when the sky falls low
oh, where will you go oh, where will you go

playing soldier in the sand
you could control them with your little hands
now you long for your mother's arms
you long for your mother's arms

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide ... more
