When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there
All those people with their faces
walkin' up the stree,
They don't have to say a thing
just look around and you see

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down
New signs going up,
old signs coming down
You gotta hold onto something in this life

Well the older generation
they got something to say
But they better say it fast
or get outta the way
All those gangsters with their crimes
they make it look so good
We've been blowing up the planet
just like the old neighbourhood

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life

If I only had a heart
it would beat all night for you
If I only had a heart
I would cry the whole day through
When I hold you in my arms
it's like a breath of fresh air
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there

Old heart's going up
old heart's coming down
My feelings going up
my feelings coming down
You gotta hold onto someone in this life

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there
