*(Intro – soft guitar and Rhodes keys, faint female harmonies “mmm-yeah…”)
[Verse 1]
I done walked through pain, now I see the dawn
Love once broke me, now it keeps me strong
Used to push away what I needed most
Scared to trust ‘cause I’d lose that hope
But then I saw her eyes, peace in the flame
Felt like home when she said my name
I ain’t perfect, but I learned my part
Now I love with an open heart
*(Background singers echo: “open heart…”)
[Pre-Chorus]
If love hurt before, I still let it heal
If it left me scarred, I know it’s real
‘Cause only the brave keep lovin’ still
And I’m done runnin’ from what I feel
[Chorus]
So I’m reachin’ with open arms
No fear left inside my heart
I’ve been broken, I’ve been scarred
But I’m still made for love, that’s who I are
With open arms, I let it in
Let the light touch all my sin
Through every loss, I found my start
Now I’m livin’ with open arms
⸻
(Bridge – drums fade out, vocals and harmonies swell together)
[Bridge]
All the nights I cried alone
Built the strength to call this home
Now when the storm starts blowin’ hard
I just hold on with open arms
*(Backgrounds repeat softly: “open arms… open arms…”)
[Chorus – full harmony lift]
I’m reachin’ with open arms
No fear left inside my heart
I’ve been broken, I’ve been scarred
But I’m still made for love, that’s who I are
With open arms, I let it in
Let the light touch all my sin
Through every loss, I found my start
Now I’m livin’ with open arms
⸻
(Music eases down — piano and guitar hold soft chords; backup singers hum behind you)
[Spoken Transition – warm, honest tone]
I used to think love was supposed to be perfect.
But it ain’t. It’s patient. It’s honest.
It’s forgiving… even when you’re still learnin’ how to be.
*(Background hum builds slightly — “mmm, still learnin’ how to be…”)
[Encore Verse – tender, low delivery]
If I fall again, let me fall in grace
Let my heart stay pure, no hate, no chase
‘Cause every time I love, I find my faith
And that’s somethin’ pain could never take
*(Backgrounds rise softly: “never take, never take…”)
[Final Outro – harmony fade]
With open arms… I’m home again
With open arms… I let love in
No matter how hard the world may spin
I’ll keep reachin’… with open arms
(Song fades out — gentle hum of harmonies)
