In My Mother's Arms

Lyrics

In My Mother's Arms
Jameson Elder & Holley Maher

I've got a little more I've gotta give
A little life I've gotta live
Before my bones grow old
I've got a few more chances I can take
A few more memories to make
Before they send me home

We'll walk a little further through the trees
Singing songs I learned to sing
In the days when I was young
We'll talk about the life i tried lead
About the man i tried to be
The one she helped me to become
When they laid me in my mother's arms

When my weary soul's departed
And my body's turned to dust
I'll find my ending where I started from
In my mother's arms

I thought growing up was gettin' gone
Moving up and moving on
From the place where I was born
I've found that the opposite is true

Growing up
Is finding my way back to you
(In my mother's arms)

When my weary soul's departed
And my body's turned to dust
I'll find my ending where I started from
In my mother's arms

I know when it's time for me to go
That a voice will call me home
Take me back where I belong
In my mother's arms
