In My Arms



I look at you

You face so pure and innocent

As you sleep cradled

In my arms



Look at you


So blissfully unaware

Of the struggle that life has become

As man tries desperately to survive



You seem troubled

And quickly I comfort you

You should never have to know

The awful truths



Look here comes your father

His sour look dissolves into a smile

As he sees us

His loved ones



He asks me

Was it wise to bring you into this world

Rivaling Hell

In it's hardships



But I tell him it can be heaven

If you so desire

For you heaven is what

I will try to give you



I know it is your fate

To know pain

But I'll fight to protect you

From as much as possible



And now your father

Wishes to hold you

He is so gentle

And kind



Shinji,

You and your father

Things that are all

That matter to me.
