In My Arms (Plumb)

A fellow foster-adopt mommy shared the following song in a discussion on an adoption board. She talked about her intense sadness about the experiences her daughter had in early life, and the equally intense desire to protect her daughter from further harm. I can relate to that sadness and desire.

There are three versions below. The first one is the original. The second and third are two different dance version remixes. The second includes the vocals immediately, in the third you have to wait for it a bit (I might like it better than the second though, I think). The videos were chosen pretty randomly, so it is interesting that they were each a very different take on the lyrics. The second is apparently images from "Final Fantasy." Um, okay, I don't know anything about "Final Fantasy," but I had fun watching it anyway. I apologize, but the third has music only, no real video images. The song lyrics are posted below the video clips. If you do a YouTube search, you'll also find a few folks who have used the song to narrate video and photographic images of their babies.

your baby blues
so full of wonder
your curley cues
your contageous smile
and as i watch
you start to grow up
all I can do is hold you tight

knowing clouds will raise up
storms will race in
but you will be safe in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash all around
but you will be safe in my arms

story books full of fairy tales
kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
you'll someday see the truth from lies

knowing clouds will raise up
storms will race in
but you will be safe in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash all around
but you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
dreams may not come true
but you are never all alone
because I will always
always love you

clouds will raise up
storms will race in
but you will be safe in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash all around
but you will be safe in my arms
