When You Hold a Baby...
Are you lonely?
Are you sad?
Are you troubled?
Feelin' bad?
Are you worried?
Are you down?
Find yourself
on a merry-go-round?
Take away your sorrow.
Forget yesterday and tomorrow.
Your storm will turn to calm,
when you hold a baby in your arms.
They don't care if you're tall or short,
chubby or thin.
They don't care what you believe,
where you're from or the color of your skin.
They kick, they sigh, gurgle, and grin.
Oh what Love a baby brings!
So take away your sorrow.
Forget bout yesterday and tomorrow.
Your storm will turn to calm,
just hold a baby in your arms.
