lyrics

Empty Arms
Music and Lyrics by Alexis Normand
with collaboration of Farideh Olsen and Allyson Reigh

I see you with wide eyes
Planning for your baby
Hope and light aglow
Excited for tomorrow
But his little beating heart
Will stay a world apart

His gentle kicks inside
Reminders he’s still with you
It’s why you love him every day
Despite what doctors say
And when it’s time for goodbye
We’ll rally by your side

I wouldn’t have your faith.
Where do you find your grace?
How can you be so strong,
At home with empty arms?

And you dear little one
Whose light drew us together
And softened the divide
Teaching siblings to be kind
You’re one less reason to doubt
Life knows how to work itself out

I wouldn’t have their faith
Where do they find their grace?
How can they be so strong,
Without you in their arms?
I wouldn’t have their faith
Where do they find their grace?
How can they stay so strong,
Without you in their arms?
