With Arms Wide Open Lyrics

Cover art for With Arms Wide Open lyrics by Creed

a father is in a way a tour guide to his son. "I'll show you everything".

But know there is a deeper parallel meaning too. The arms wide open are a metaphor for the cross. It's about a father who will sacrifice for his kids, just as the savior sacrificed for his.

It's about fatherhood and Christian salvation all at once. Very clever song.
