From the recording Moke Ivey Volume 1
Lyrics
In Your Arms
Words and Music by Jon Mark Ivey
In your arms, I felt safe
Hasn’t been the same
Since you went away
You left this earth in front of me
My soul left with you in the breeze
In your arms I felt free
Now empty air is what I breathe
The hole you left
In my chest
It just won’t heal
Bluest of eyes and a heart of gold
A hand to hold
Your bible held the secrets
The words you knew I needed
When in the margins I read
My name printed over and over again
Walking back to your grave
I feel the sun on my face and I am changed
I hear your voice
Above the noise
The sounds I used to deny my truth
They’ve been stripped away
Now my soul open lays
At your feet
At Your feet
In your arms I felt safe
In my arms I felt your weight leave me
