This was played at my 7 year old son's funeral in 2007. Still hits a nerve but it reminds me of my little boy and to never forget that I'll see him again one day. R.I.P. Nicholas Raine Scott Craddock.... Daddy loves you boy.......
This hits hard Jerry. Nothing in life compares to that. I really feel for you..so deeply. I’m sorry that happened. I wish these things just didn’t exist. I hope you find ways to work through the grief process. It’s a good idea to have support.
This song was written about Scott Stapp's firstborn kid (son Jagger). And now in recent news that kid Jagger became a dad himself, giving Scott his first grandchild. Congratulations Scott on being a first time Grandpa. 😊
In Jesus name I believe God Our Almighty Father will re-unite me with my precious beloved brother Steve one day in heaven God willing! And to hug my Tati-Dad! And many loved ones in our family who left us too soon. So sad. I played this Creed CD over and over! I still love their music so much!! Group is Canadian! 💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful song. A man finding out he will become a father and he is embracing it and anticipating the arrival of his first child. Such a feeling of acceptance and being wanted...LOVE.
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: ruclips.net/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/видео.html Thank you!
Such a heartfelt song coming from a man that found out he is about to be a father. Purest and most precious song ever written about a man that is about to be a new father.
This song came out four months before I was born. My dad was a scared, broken 20 year old with no idea how he was going to raise a child. From what I’ve been told, the song that played on the radio they had going right at my arrival happened to be this masterpiece. For 23 years he’d play this classic while he took me to school, work, scouts, with at least once a week telling the story about how this song saved his life, and helped shaped him into the father he still is today. That’s why I’m still listening to this Jam in 2023, because I grateful for the father I have. Plus it fucking slaps
2024 dad of 2 born in 83. This song makes me absolutely weep. Amen to creed. Scott, so happy to see you well, band together. Hope to see you performing live asap
This song hits me everytime. It literally came on the radio as soon as I left the doctors office when I found out I was pregnant. Thank you @creed for such an emotional song. My son is grown now, and I couldn't be prouder of the man he has become. Even tho I had him when I was 17. Everyone swore he would become a thug or something bc I was so young. My own grandmother said I should abort him or give him up for adoption. Well he is now a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corp. And I couldn't be more PROUD!!!!
Singer Andrea Bocelli's Mother was told by her Doctor to abort her son BC she was told there might be complications with him. If she had aborted him, the world would have never had a Great Singer & Performer!
@@keyairuh2116 Because they were a record industry creation to take advantage of the grunge "fad"... they were to the 90's what Pat Boone was to the 50s, The Monkees were to the 60's, and The Bay City Rollers were to the 70s....
Creed is a lesson in the duality of man. Scott Stapp has said in interviews that he doesn't know why he wrote his music this way, but says he felt compelled to do so by a higher power. My father used to sing this song to me when I was young. He was also a tortured man. May god rest hos soul.. Love you dad, miss you so much..
When MY SON Died I Listened To And Cried To This Song For a Very Long Time. And Now,.....I Just Listen. The Tears Still Stream a Little Down My Face 😢 But I Now Feel So GRATEFUL TO GOD, THAT I WAS BLESSED TO BE HIS MOTHER FOR AS LONG AS I WAS ALLOWED TO. 💜 I Miss You So Much My SWEET ROBERT (ROBBIE )😇. I Pray That You Know While You Are In HEAVEN, That I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH 🙏
My dad would play this song late night and drink a beer. He felt this song with his soul. Rest up dad I listen to this song often it makes me so emotional though. 😢❤
Its 1148pm and im listening to this while drinking beer , my life didnt turn out the way I wanted , So Im here just listening to my favorite songs until I get drunk and sleep
It's not just that we come back to this song for memories we share for the ones we lost or forgotten I listen to this song cause this is the first song I showed my little brother who I miss so much and just to hear this song reminds me of the times we shared together as brothers
My friend just passed away a few days and he was an organ donor ❤️ we celebrated him for donating his organs and we walked him to the elevator to this song where they took him off life support and he was able to donate his heart and kidneys 😭 rest in peace Jacob 😢 we love you so much 😢 So proud you saved so many lives ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. My best friend passed away 3 years ago and was also an organ donor. 5 different people received her organs, including her heart going to a little girl. She wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Take comfort in the fact that your friend’s act of kindness keeps his memory alive.
@@aR0ttenBANANA maybe you dont have a kid, but when or if you do you'll really understand it. I never really cared for it until I became a father. Its lame ,but every time I hear this song I cry a bit because It reminds me of the day he was born and love my 1 year old mess maker so much.
This song was popular when my Son was born in 2001. It will always remind me of his birth and how I felt at the time. Done my best with him & his younger sister. Hope I never fail them.
Gregg Hunter I was born in 2001 and my dad took his own life he loved this song I just hope u will take care and love your kids everyday because you never know when you can loose them.
My oldest Son TJ was born in 2001 also....August 2nd....this song reminds me of when he was born too....can't believe he is graduating high school in June....time sure flies #Memories
This is one of the most soul-stirring songs ever released in the early 2000s. SCOTT STAPP, CREED's lead singer, wrote "WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN" after learning he was going to be a father in early 1998. One of the reasons he felt compelled to do it was that he didn't want his child to endure the same difficulties he did as a youngster. Stapp came from a strong religious Christian family, and he didn't want his son to question himself and his faith like Scott did.
This song played on the radio while i was contemplating taking my life...i sat in the gas station patking lot sobbing...and it honestly stopped me from literally blowing my brains out 357 on my temple....if this miracle of this song not played at that moment i wouldnt be here to write this post..SO THANK YOU......
16 years ago I found out that I was going to be a father, this song is always playing in my mind. My wife and I have the most amazing daughter and I will fight to my last breath to provide and protect her! Anyone can make a child it takes a man to be a Father! Helps having an amazing wife to have your back!
Once upon a time a wise man once said "When your happy you enjoy the melody... But when your broken you understand the lyrics"..... This holds true to this day💯

My wife of 31 years just passed from cancer the 20th of last month. We have 3 kids: 18, 22, and 24. I hope your father is there or someone else to help you get through this. God bless.
This song hit me in my mid 20's. I was homeless, depressed and living on my Grandparen'ts couch and I was listening to this as I was having my very first and very real psychic spiritual awakening. I started to understand so much and also how little I understood at the same time. I cried my eyes out for the gratitude and sorrow that came in hand in hand. I miss my Grandparents, they raised me and they are both gone now. I guess Spirit was holding me at that moment letting me know there was so much left in life to see.
I'm a 23 year old guy and totally blown away at how good creed is... I've only heard of them vaguely, in a negative light, but their lyrics, music, everything is beautiful
I don't know why Creed would've gotten bad reviews. They were fantastic back then just like people are loving them now. Goes to show you...critics are just that... critical. Do your thing, Be yourself!! 🎵🎶🎺🎻🥁🎶🎵🎸🤙🔥
I lost my little boy six years ago when he was four. My world changed drastically when he was born, every night I’d play my acoustic guitar and sing him this song till he fell asleep with a small smile on his face. I’ve never had a moment since his passing that he’s not at the forefront of my mind. This song still to this day makes tears stream down my face in remembrance of him. I’ll always and forever be proud of my sweet little boy. I love you Thomas Johnathon Sweeney, your father will always miss you
Son is leaving for college next week. He was born 18 years ago 2lbs 3 oz. I listen to this song every morning for 8 weeks as I drove to the hospital to see him in the NICU. Scary times. Proud father
@@199Pastrana Thank you. I did not brag originally, but he got a full ride for academics (National Merit winner). He was also a three sport athelete (Baseball, basketball, and football) All state football DB/LB. The only reason I brag is to give hope to other parents of premature babies. I want them to know there is hope in those scary moments!
Man. 2lbs-3oz? You must've almost been able to fit him in your hand. I've heard of some 5# babies that people couldn't believed that survived, but only 2lbs? This is a true miracle. Congratulations man. And congratulations to your boy. Good luck at college.
@@ur_favone Thank you, yes he is a blessing from God for sure! www.southbendtribune.com/sports/high_school/football/noie-senior-c-j-fisher-excelled-in-all-areas-for/article_dcf56f7c-35bc-5d3b-af3d-acb89e5b1bd6.html
Used to listen as a kid and I thought it was the sweetest thing a dad could think or say to his boy. Now I'm that man later on in life that's gonna keep these thoughts and give my boy the best life possible here for you. You will know love and also know the love of God. ❤
My daddy bought me this album in high-school. I'll never forget sitting in my room with the blanket my mom hand sowed for me at my dad's new house misunderstanding life for what it was in a whole. I've never missed my parents more than I do today
Anyone cry when they listen to this ? ❤ This reminds me of my uncle who passed away. And he was more like my father to me, the one that I never had, he raised me, he looked after me, he made sure that I had a “father” in my life as he never had one either, he knew I needed someone, and it is because of him that my life is as amazing as it is, he gave me everything, and accepted me with arms wide open, this was the last song that I learnt to play with him, he played drums, I played guitar, and we sang the lyrics together, I miss you so so much uncle John Lauranse, thank you for everything 🙏🏻❤️
When I was pregnant I used to sing “welcome to this place, I’ll show you everything” to my son each night, unfortunately he did not make it into this world but I would have shown him everything beautiful life had to offer
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
Lyrics: Well I just heard the news today It seems my life is gonna to change I close my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I have to be I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side We stand in awe, we've created life With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything Oh yeah With arms wide open Wide open If I had just one wish Only one demand I hope he's not like me I hope he understands That he can take this life And hold it by the hand And he can greet the world With arms wide open With Arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything oh yeah With arms wide open Wide open
This song my dad used to listen to when I was little boy and he passed away 11 years ago. I finally found this song and I broke down so hard. I miss him so very much.
This is the theme song for my son and I. It's our song together. I heard this as I was on the way to the hospital to pick up my new born son and my beautiful wife. It will be an eternal reminder of the most important day in life. Thank you.
When my kid was born I also listened to Creed on the way to see my newborn. I raised him on Creed, Nickelback, Ted Nugent and Meatloaf. We are all Trump supporters in our home and he's owned guns since the age of four. God bless America brother!
This song came on the radio as I started my car to move it from emergency parking in front of the hospital. My wife had just given birth to our first child. I was always skeptical hearing stories like this. I no longer am skeptical. Tons of emotions, this made it over the top. It still brings me back to that day. My daughter is 20 now. For all those young parents out there, stay the course, keep trying, you’ll make it!
I was a single mother, who gave birth to my first born at the time this song came out. It was just be and I against the world. He changed me in all the best ways. This song is relevant to me as a mother to my first born son. I still cry when I hear it. He’s 23 now and I made sure he knows what this song means to me, so that he can carry it with him when I am gone
I was a teenager when this song came out. It seemed so cheesey and corny, we relentlessly made fun of it. My tastes were much cooler, I thought. But now that I've got a little son in my life, this song makes me cry, lol. Its so evocative. I didn't like kids or know how to act until I had the baby in my arms. I had no idea I was going to love him so much. This song truly hits that nerve, right on the bullseye. It's funny how this stuff changes you. Time passes, and you take different perspectives on the same things.
If you’re still listening to this song in 2020, you’re such a legend! I first heard this song back in 1999 and still can’t get rid off listening! So nice! ❤️
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
I found out I was going to be a dad around this same time last year. A couple months went by, and the baby’s mother and I split up in June. Last July was one of the hardest months of my life. I started bartending at a new restaurant. It was the grand opening and we were swamped all day. I was depressed, could barely function but I fought through the pain and put on a fake smile. I asked God for guidance many times that night. Around 10pm, amidst a still loud and crowded restaurant, I finally walked outside under the patio lights by myself to get a 5 minute break. I was the only one out there so it was so peaceful. There was a light mist in the air. Just moments later, this beautiful song began playing on the loud outside speakers, I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. Everything I was going through was made alright though in that moment because God had given me the perfect sign. The heartbeat intro still gives me chills. Fast forward to now, I have a beautiful baby boy named Izaiah and I’m going to be the greatest dad for him. I will share this story with him some day.
This was getting a lot of airplay still in 2001 when I found out we were having our first child. Filled me with emotion every time I heard it. Grown man in his truck with tears in his eyes listening to this song on the radio. My firstborn daughter is now a terrific young woman in her final year of college, so proud of her. Every once in a while, I think of this song when we're together.
Eu e minha esposa contávamos essa música para meu primogênito, infelizmente ele veio a óbito após uma cirurgia no coração, mas essa música estará eternizada para sempre em nossos corações.
This song was #1 in the day my son was born in September of 2000... He came out of me with his arms stretched so wide open... It was beautiful. This song always reminds me and makes me cry tears of joy. He's 23 this year and has epilepsy...I just pray he outlives me by so many years
Being happy and healthy will always look good Play with him or talk to him We also need to make the most of every second You never know what tomorrow will bring
One of the most amazing things my husband ever said to me was after the birth of our son, he told me this song described his feelings about becoming a dad! Our son is now 15 and we have an 11 year old daughter and he’s still an amazingly loving husband and dad!
My dad passed away 1 day ago and he said this song was for me not literally but like in the fact that this is how he felt when I was born it's hard listening to this song
My son passed away 6 years ago. I wasn't ready to be the man i had to be but he knows i've done everything for him. Wherever you are Enzo,love u forever.
My dad said this song was for me.... After all the abuse, addiction, and pain he caused me. I hear this song and know exactly what he meant when he said "i love you". I never believed he actually loved me until i found out that this was his song to me. My dad is clean now and i hear this song and it hurts so much. Knowing he never knew how to love me until now
Learn to forgive him. I know he's not perfect, but he's as human as you, me or anyone else. I don't know what he's been through, but nobody teaches you how to be a father. I hope you spend your days with him in a caring way and may your relationship with him grow stronger.
Well... unfortunately this comment did not age well. My father relapsed and got 3 DUI's within 3 months. He will now be spending his 61st, 62nd, and potentially his 63rd birthday in prison. It's so hard to love someone who could let you down this many times. I know he loves me but sometimes I can't tell what he loves more. His family. Or. His addiction
As a father myself and a addict who is clean now for 3 years I can promise you your father always loved you and whatever demons he has he hopes he ain’t passed em on to you, be a better man than your father at the end of the day that’s all we want as a parent and it’s a shame when some fathers can’t conquer themselves and their own faults but regardless he loves you bro, take care
@@FrankyCpunishmentSTYLE your comment means the world to me. Thanks to everyone for the hopeful wishes. I really do pray things turn around for our relationship. I always wanted me and my dad to be best friends. Instead we've been more of strangers in this world
My son-in-law had this song playing while my daughter was giving birth. It was a very special, sweet moment and very powerful. I never knew that I would love this song.
Human Clay released a week or so after my little sister was born, when I was 10 years old. My dad had passed away tragically when I was 6 and I was starting to understand what it meant to be part of a new family. This song gave my stepdad and me an incredible connection as we welcomed Rachel to our family and into our hearts. We listened to it on repeat and cried and hugged.
I remember my dad told me a story about before I was born. He had found out that my mom was pregnant that day and he went to the bar and played this song on the jukebox. I’m 16 years old today and he’s the best father I could have ever asked for.
When my dad would pick me up from pre school I’d tell him to play “the song”. This was me and my dads song and now that I’m older I realized it really was his song to me.
All these comments brought a tear to my eyes too, I was also going through something I can relate, my sons father dedicated this to him n then left n never came back, 20 years ago, my sons 23, he says ( what dad?) 🤷🏻♀️
Celia Alvarez Yes and I had this song on that Creed CD playing on the day in 2003 that my son was born and I took him home from the hospital. This song will always remind me of that happy day.
If you look closely there is a demonic figure when he enters that building. If it is not satan himself. Many think this a Christian song but look at the imagery.
my dad played this song to me when i was a kid. before things got rough. and i can’t wait to tell him that one day i’m going to play this song to my song with my wife ... and i’m going to give him the happiest life i could ever give him..
@@Name-uo3wo I think his dad died and he can't wait to meet him at the other side to tell him that he passed the tradition of playing Creed to the next generations
My dad passed away two weeks and a half now. I miss him so much… this song makes me think of him… i think this is how he felt when he had me… and i consider myself so so lucky to have him as my dad in this world… now he is in a better place.💔❤️ I want to tell you dad… you did raise me so well… with arms wide open.. i miss you so much.
I can see how this song would be perfect to celebrate the birth of any child, I played this when my daughter was born, I don't know your dad but I can safely assume that he was a great man, I'm happy you two had each other and I hope one day you meet your dad again.
@@jacobrevenge9978 Your entitled to your opinion, thus why bother commenting ? Goodluck with whatever your problem is man , can someone hug thus stranger . He's clearly hurting inside ❤️🌎💜
Played this for the first time to my daughter after her up from her mums house. I was driving/ singing and she was dancing in her car seat, after the song finished she said “that was a cool song dad” a very special moment I don’t think I’ll ever forget ❤️
My wife asked me for my favourite song and I played this 10 years ago. Then I played it when my first daughter was born. My wife cried. Now my second child is coming into the world next month. Guess what I'm going to play. Thank you for this song
Just found out I'm gonna be a father. This song was very important to my mother when she was pregnant with me. She found out and then heard this song for the first time the same day. Now almost 22 years, later, here I am.
It came out just a few weeks before I found out my girl was pregnant. We were just kids back then and we got into a huge fight and she told me to leave, I did. Fast forward till 2022 and I still bawl my eyes out because of my ignorance and pride as a boy.
Enjoy it brother. Be there for every moment you possibly can. Hold him more than you think you should, take every picture record every video, and don't blink...
This song is for my son who was senselessly gunned down june of 2020 this song always reminded me of holding u in my arms ❤and crying 😢uncontrollably when u were born
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: ruclips.net/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/видео.html Thank you!

the only gift from this world I ever wanted was to be a dad. And now at 52 that door is closed forever. For all dads out there reading this cherish every moment with your children. The good and the bad. The sad and the scary. The happy and the excitement. Never, ever take fatherhood for granted. Some of us will never reach those shores.
ask yourself this. Does my life line up with being able to be a dad? Do I have a stable career? A home of my own? Am I able to focus my life on raising a child? For me I have had to care for my elderly parents these past several years. And that alone prevented me from being a dad. My life was not lined up with being able to be a dad. If your life fully lines up then you can be a dad. You can adopt. You can foster kids. You are young enough to still be a dad!
I listened to this song 4 years before I got pregnant, after having 3 miscarriages. It gave me hope, and now I have a 13 year old son. One of my fav songs of all time.
My beautiful 47 year old son died 3/12/2021he had a heart attack. We are having a memorial in his honor and this is one.of his favorite songs it will be played
My father used to sing this to me when I was a kid , now he is gone... He passed away 2 years ago , He was an awesome person and I miss him but this song remembers to me all the love he gave to me he was an awesome dad... I can't listen to this song without crying :''')

This was played at my 7 year old son's funeral in 2007. Still hits a nerve but it reminds me of my little boy and to never forget that I'll see him again one day. R.I.P. Nicholas Raine Scott Craddock.... Daddy loves you boy.......
So sorry
I feel your pain. So young to be taken from you. Stay strong my friend!
Stay strong brother
This hits hard Jerry. Nothing in life compares to that. I really feel for you..so deeply. I’m sorry that happened. I wish these things just didn’t exist. I hope you find ways to work through the grief process. It’s a good idea to have support.
Keep up strong for him, bud
This song was written about Scott Stapp's firstborn kid (son Jagger). And now in recent news that kid Jagger became a dad himself, giving Scott his first grandchild. Congratulations Scott on being a first time Grandpa. 😊

Congrats Roger 🙏🏼
😍❤️
When I found out I would be a dad, the first song I started to re-listen to was Get Free by The Vines.
This song came out four months before I was born. My dad was a scared, broken 20 year old with no idea how he was going to raise a child. From what I’ve been told, the song that played on the radio they had going right at my arrival happened to be this masterpiece. For 23 years he’d play this classic while he took me to school, work, scouts, with at least once a week telling the story about how this song saved his life, and helped shaped him into the father he still is today. That’s why I’m still listening to this Jam in 2023, because I grateful for the father I have. Plus it fucking slaps
This is so beautiful 🥹 continue cherishing him. The lyrics are so meaningful
Awesome
Wholesome ❤
Solid story bro
As a dad it brings tears to my eyes reading this
2024 dad of 2 born in 83. This song makes me absolutely weep. Amen to creed. Scott, so happy to see you well, band together. Hope to see you performing live asap
This song hits me everytime. It literally came on the radio as soon as I left the doctors office when I found out I was pregnant. Thank you @creed for such an emotional song. My son is grown now, and I couldn't be prouder of the man he has become. Even tho I had him when I was 17. Everyone swore he would become a thug or something bc I was so young. My own grandmother said I should abort him or give him up for adoption. Well he is now a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corp. And I couldn't be more PROUD!!!!
semper fi
A testament to the kind of person and mother you are great job.
Very Cool. I'm glad you gave your son life.! 😊
Singer Andrea Bocelli's Mother was told by her Doctor to abort her son BC she was told there might be complications with him. If she had aborted him, the world would have never had a Great Singer & Performer!
Semper Fidelis
Creed got so much hate in the early 2000's, but the older I get the more I realize they didn't deserve it. Their songs are solid 👌
No, they deserved all the hate that they got, past and present lol
@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 why
@@keyairuh2116 Because they were a record industry creation to take advantage of the grunge "fad"... they were to the 90's what Pat Boone was to the 50s, The Monkees were to the 60's, and The Bay City Rollers were to the 70s....
They hated Creed because it was a Christian band.

Thank you for the gift you gave to humanity through your son. God bless you. 🥺
Creed is a lesson in the duality of man. Scott Stapp has said in interviews that he doesn't know why he wrote his music this way, but says he felt compelled to do so by a higher power. My father used to sing this song to me when I was young. He was also a tortured man. May god rest hos soul.. Love you dad, miss you so much..
When MY SON Died I Listened To And Cried To This Song For a Very Long Time. And Now,.....I Just Listen. The Tears Still Stream a Little Down My Face 😢 But I Now Feel So GRATEFUL TO GOD, THAT I WAS BLESSED TO BE HIS MOTHER FOR AS LONG AS I WAS ALLOWED TO. 💜
I Miss You So Much My SWEET ROBERT (ROBBIE )😇. I Pray That You Know While You Are In HEAVEN, That

My dad would play this song late night and drink a beer. He felt this song with his soul. Rest up dad I listen to this song often it makes me so emotional though. 😢❤
❤❤😂😢😢😮
Oi
i love that!!
Its 1148pm and im listening to this while drinking beer , my life didnt turn out the way I wanted , So Im here just listening to my favorite songs until I get drunk and sleep
It's crazy how many people come back to this everyday.This song is legendary♪
It's not just that we come back to this song for memories we share for the ones we lost or forgotten I listen to this song cause this is the first song I showed my little brother who I miss so much and just to hear this song reminds me of the times we shared together as brothers
Love it I just bought the CD off ebay
Came here to make fun of it lmfaoo
Lol
Great another bot
My friend just passed away a few days and he was an organ donor ❤️ we celebrated him for donating his organs and we walked him to the elevator to this song where they took him off life support and he was able to donate his heart and kidneys 😭 rest in peace Jacob 😢 we love you so much 😢 So proud you saved so many lives ❤
😢 🙏🏽💙💙💙
Damn thats heavy....🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. My best friend passed away 3 years ago and was also an organ donor. 5 different people received her organs, including her heart going to a little girl. She wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Take comfort in the fact that your friend’s act of kindness keeps his memory alive.
Rest up homie

Doesn’t make it a good song
@@aR0ttenBANANA True, but that's purely opinion.
@@aR0ttenBANANA maybe you dont have a kid, but when or if you do you'll really understand it. I never really cared for it until I became a father. Its lame ,but every time I hear this song I cry a bit because It reminds me of the day he was born and love my 1 year old mess maker so much.
His voice just makes you cry as soon as you hear it. It was so perfect with the words in this song. Growing up in the 90s was truly the best!!
Agreed
100%
Definitely... the music had meaning.
Mid 80s and 90s were the best!
Rip off of Layne Staley its average at best.
This song was popular when my Son was born in 2001. It will always remind me of his birth and how I felt at the time. Done my best with him & his younger sister. Hope I never fail them.
Gregg Hunter I was born in 2001 and my dad took his own life he loved this song I just hope u will take care and love your kids everyday because you never know when you can loose them.
My oldest Son TJ was born in 2001 also....August 2nd....this song reminds me of when he was born too....can't believe he is graduating high school in June....time sure flies #Memories
Cool
Same it's exactly how I read the song. I also sing it live . Kind of a nod to my children that I no longer live with but try to see as often as I can.
All u can do is your best mate . If your there for them then that's enough.
This is one of the most soul-stirring songs ever released in the early 2000s. SCOTT STAPP, CREED's lead singer, wrote "WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN" after learning he was going to be a father in early 1998. One of the reasons he felt compelled to do it was that he didn't want his child to endure the same difficulties he did as a youngster. Stapp came from a strong religious Christian family, and he didn't want his son to question himself and his faith like Scott did.
This song played on the radio while i was contemplating taking my life...i sat in the gas station patking lot sobbing...and it honestly stopped me from literally blowing my brains out 357 on my temple....if this miracle of this song not played at that moment i wouldnt be here to write this post..SO THANK YOU......
Stay strong!
Glad to hear that you didn't go through with it.Life is so worth living
Some times we are sent messages in different ways just at the right time. So happy that you were sent this song and are still here.
❤️
It was meant to be. Not your time yet.
I can't believe this song was written in 15 minutes at a soundcheck, when the lead singer (Stapp) found out he was going to be a father.
How beautiful is that 💖
Gorgeous story
16 years ago I found out that I was going to be a father, this song is always playing in my mind. My wife and I have the most amazing daughter and I will fight to my last breath to provide and protect her!
Anyone can make a child it takes a man to be a Father!
Helps having an amazing wife to have your back!
72 yrs old..fell in love with Scott Stapp after hearing his songs..his voice..many years ago
wow this is the only non sad comment.
Once upon a time a wise man once said "When your happy you enjoy the melody... But when your broken you understand the lyrics"..... This holds true to this day💯
So true,

This song hit me in my mid 20's. I was homeless, depressed and living on my Grandparen'ts couch and I was listening to this as I was having my very first and very real psychic spiritual awakening. I started to understand so much and also how little I understood at the same time. I cried my eyes out for the gratitude and sorrow that came in hand in hand. I miss my Grandparents, they raised me and they are both gone now. I guess Spirit was holding me at that moment letting me know there was so much left in life to see.
Did you go out in the rain with your arms wide open
You mean God.. who made you and loves you?
Awesome testimony. 😇👍
The question is, What did you do about it?
That is beautiful ❤Thank you for sharing

I lost my little boy six years ago when he was four. My world changed drastically when he was born, every night I’d play my acoustic guitar and sing him this song till he fell asleep with a small smile on his face. I’ve never had a moment since his passing that he’s not at the forefront of my mind. This song still to this day makes tears stream down my face in remembrance of him. I’ll always and forever be proud of my sweet little boy. I love you Thomas Johnathon Sweeney, your father will always miss you
Jay. Sending you light love and peace. God bless you & yours always. ❤
Praying for solace to your soul.
Bro, heart breaks bro, couldn't imagine, sorry to hear
He is very proud of his father I can guarantee you that. Im so sorry for your loss
You may not see him in the flesh at this juncture in life but, he is with you.

Congratulations!! There is nothing like it in the world! I'm a father of two ✌️❤️
Son is leaving for college next week. He was born 18 years ago 2lbs 3 oz. I listen to this song every morning for 8 weeks as I drove to the hospital to see him in the NICU. Scary times. Proud father
Mike Fisher awesome buddy 👍
@@199Pastrana Thank you.
I did not brag originally, but he got a full ride for academics (National Merit winner). He was also a three sport athelete (Baseball, basketball, and football) All state football DB/LB. The only reason I brag is to give hope to other parents of premature babies. I want them to know there is hope in those scary moments!
Man. 2lbs-3oz? You must've almost been able to fit him in your hand. I've heard of some 5# babies that people couldn't believed that survived, but only 2lbs? This is a true miracle. Congratulations man. And congratulations to your boy. Good luck at college.
I'm the opposite I'd be like... Please God don't let me be a father. This bitch gonna get me for child support.

Used to listen as a kid and I thought it was the sweetest thing a dad could think or say to his boy. Now I'm that man later on in life that's gonna keep these thoughts and give my boy the best life possible here for you. You will know love and also know the love of God. ❤
God bless you and your family 🙏🏼
My daddy bought me this album in high-school. I'll never forget sitting in my room with the blanket my mom hand sowed for me at my dad's new house misunderstanding life for what it was in a whole. I've never missed my parents more than I do today

Anyone cry when they listen to this ? ❤
This reminds me of my uncle who passed away.
And he was more like my father to me, the one that I never had, he raised me, he looked after me, he made sure that I had a “father” in my life as he never had one either, he knew I needed someone, and it is because of him that my life is as amazing as it is, he gave me everything, and accepted me with arms wide open, this was the last song that I learnt to play with him, he played drums, I played guitar, and we sang the lyrics together, I miss you so so much uncle John Lauranse, thank you for everything 🙏🏻❤️
Every single time
When I was pregnant I used to sing “welcome to this place, I’ll show you everything” to my son each night, unfortunately he did not make it into this world but I would have shown him everything beautiful life had to offer
I'm so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss ❤❣
Oh my gosh..... I’m..sorry for your loss.
God bless🙏💖
I am so sorry
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
Believe it or not, I needed in this moment. ❤

Lyrics:
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is gonna to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything
Oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open
With Arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open
You mean “WITH ARMS WIDE OPAAANNN”
Welcome to this hell
Thanks for the lyrics
I love this song. I can't wait to be a dad and show them everything. Thank you, Creed, for this masterpiece ❤❤

This song is so special, I was a teenager when I first heard it and now I'm 40 and it still has the same relevance as those days.
This song came on the radio as I started my car to move it from emergency parking in front of the hospital. My wife had just given birth to our first child. I was always skeptical hearing stories like this. I no longer am skeptical. Tons of emotions, this made it over the top. It still brings me back to that day. My daughter is 20 now. For all those young parents out there, stay the course, keep trying, you’ll make it!
My oldest daughter will be 20 this march 4th!!! This song was sooo powerful and still is to this day it gets me every time....🙏🏻🔥🥺🎶💯
Right On
No thanks
I had just given birth to my daughter when I first heard this song. She will be turning 21 this spring. Lots of emotions . . . then and now.😂
Lies again? AO Levels
I was a single mother, who gave birth to my first born at the time this song came out. It was just be and I against the world. He changed me in all the best ways. This song is relevant to me as a mother to my first born son. I still cry when I hear it. He’s 23 now and I made sure he knows what this song means to me, so that he can carry it with him when I am gone
Great song you sound like a great mother am sure your son will do you proud bless you both😊
Dancing with my 23 year old son to “his” song at his wedding this weekend!
I was a teenager when this song came out. It seemed so cheesey and corny, we relentlessly made fun of it. My tastes were much cooler, I thought.
But now that I've got a little son in my life, this song makes me cry, lol. Its so evocative. I didn't like kids or know how to act until I had the baby in my arms. I had no idea I was going to love him so much. This song truly hits that nerve, right on the bullseye.
It's funny how this stuff changes you. Time passes, and you take different perspectives on the same things.
Same here! My daughter is now 22 and serving our country 🇺🇸 This song makes me tear up every time.
Omg.... I'm tearing up
If you’re still listening to this song in 2020, you’re such a legend! I first heard this song back in 1999 and still can’t get rid off listening! So nice! ❤️
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
I had never actually heard this song before. I heard the Tobuscus parody in 2014 and now I’ll never be able to take this song seriously.
This song is a true classic & anyone who has ever brought a life into this crazy world can relate. I absolutely love this song!
I first heard this in 2009 and I’m only 19 years old, I don’t quite relate but the lyrics are deep
flow THE PREASANTS ARE OAPAAAHN
I cry so hard everytime I hear this song. My youngest son is at their concert tonight in Noblesville In. This song brings back memories.
Me too I cry too.
I found out I was going to be a dad around this same time last year. A couple months went by, and the baby’s mother and I split up in June. Last July was one of the hardest months of my life. I started bartending at a new restaurant. It was the grand opening and we were swamped all day. I was depressed, could barely function but I fought through the pain and put on a fake smile. I asked God for guidance many times that night. Around 10pm, amidst a still loud and crowded restaurant, I finally walked outside under the patio lights by myself to get a 5 minute break. I was the only one out there so it was so peaceful. There was a light mist in the air. Just moments later, this beautiful song began playing on the loud outside speakers, I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. Everything I was going through was made alright though in that moment because God had given me the perfect sign. The heartbeat intro still gives me chills. Fast forward to now, I have a beautiful baby boy named Izaiah and I’m going to be the greatest dad for him. I will share this story with him some day.
Izaiah is a great name and you’ll be a great dad
Hey mate, what a beautiful story. You’re going to be a great dad, it’s a beautiful name you’ve chosen, and I wish you all the best.
Sucks for both you and the kid hope the mom won't screw him up
May God bless you and your son and give you the strength to continue on in happiness and love always💕💕
Enjoy the journey, sensitive soul..... 💙
This song is so, so good. Literally brings a tear to the eye with the lyrics. They really hit home when I think about my son.

Love you bro!!
Love the song. He truly love his son and its beautiful song for his son. 🥰🥰
This was getting a lot of airplay still in 2001 when I found out we were having our first child. Filled me with emotion every time I heard it. Grown man in his truck with tears in his eyes listening to this song on the radio. My firstborn daughter is now a terrific young woman in her final year of college, so proud of her. Every once in a while, I think of this song when we're together.
Creed or nickleback were never bad we just thought we were too cool.
Eu e minha esposa contávamos essa música para meu primogênito, infelizmente ele veio a óbito após uma cirurgia no coração, mas essa música estará eternizada para sempre em nossos corações.

This song was #1 in the day my son was born in September of 2000... He came out of me with his arms stretched so wide open... It was beautiful. This song always reminds me and makes me cry tears of joy. He's 23 this year and has epilepsy...I just pray he outlives me by so many years

Im pretty sure my dad did the same and now im 15 and my sister is 11, scary

I never believed he actually loved me until i found out that this was his song to me. My dad is clean now and i hear this song and it hurts so much. Knowing he never knew how to love me until now
bless you and your dad.
Learn to forgive him. I know he's not perfect, but he's as human as you, me or anyone else. I don't know what he's been through, but nobody teaches you how to be a father. I hope you spend your days with him in a caring way and may your relationship with him grow stronger.
Well... unfortunately this comment did not age well. My father relapsed and got 3 DUI's within 3 months. He will now be spending his 61st, 62nd, and potentially his 63rd birthday in prison. It's so hard to love someone who could let you down this many times. I know he loves me but sometimes I can't tell what he loves more. His family. Or. His addiction
As a father myself and a addict who is clean now for
3 years I can promise you your father always loved you and whatever demons he has he hopes he ain’t passed em on to you, be a better man than your father at the end of the day that’s all we want as a parent and it’s a shame when some fathers can’t conquer themselves and their own faults but regardless he loves you bro, take care
@@FrankyCpunishmentSTYLE your comment means the world to me. Thanks to everyone for the hopeful wishes. I really do pray things turn around for our relationship. I always wanted me and my dad to be best friends. Instead we've been more of strangers in this world
OBRIGADO MALHAÇÃO POR ME APRESENTAR ESSA BANDA ABSURDA!!! QUE SAUDADES DOS ANOS 2000!

Great music is timeless 👌 🎶
Bons tempos que nunca mais iram se repetir musicas boas
My son-in-law had this song playing while my daughter was giving birth. It was a very special, sweet moment and very powerful. I never knew that I would love this song.
Human Clay released a week or so after my little sister was born, when I was 10 years old. My dad had passed away tragically when I was 6 and I was starting to understand what it meant to be part of a new family. This song gave my stepdad and me an incredible connection as we welcomed Rachel to our family and into our hearts. We listened to it on repeat and cried and hugged.
Erich Zaan my nigga much love to u and ur family brother

Erich Zaan hi
HEY Erich Zaan MY DAD PASSED AWAY TRAGEDY WHEN I 12 YEARS OLD
I wish i had a dad :'(
A classic for sure. Hits on different levels as time goes on.
I remember my dad told me a story about before I was born. He had found out that my mom was pregnant that day and he went to the bar and played this song on the jukebox. I’m 16 years old today and he’s the best father I could have ever asked for.
Jukebox ay! That must of been some time ago - I know 16 years 🤣
@@tonyholland7936 😂😂. Honestly not sure if it was a jukebox or a radio
I used to sing this song to my son. I am a mom and yesterday he turned 19. I am so happy that you have an awesome dad!
So he finds out she's pregnant and decides to go to a bar alone for drinks? Yeah sounds like he wasn't disappointed at all lol
I played this song when my son was born. He's going to be 10 this year
This has to be the most spiritual song and video of all time.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Beautiful song
lol
I dedicate this song to my Dad RIP Dad I miss you❤️
When my dad would pick me up from pre school I’d tell him to play “the song”. This was me and my dads song and now that I’m older I realized it really was his song to me.
My dad dedicated this song to me to
My father too dedicated this song to me
That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
Your comment just brought a tear to my eye. That is beautiful.
All these comments brought a tear to my eyes too, I was also going through something I can relate, my sons father dedicated this to him n then left n never came back, 20 years ago, my sons 23, he says ( what dad?) 🤷🏻♀️
This song will forever have a special place in my Heart! Anyone else listening in 2018?
Celia Alvarez Yes and I had this song on that Creed CD playing on the day in 2003 that my son was born and I took him home from the hospital. This song will always remind me of that happy day.
always is a damn good song
20018
Yes girl!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
2018 from the Philippines
One of the greatest Christian ✝️ rock songs, always brings me tears 😢 and uplifts my faith in Christ.
If you look closely there is a demonic figure when he enters that building. If it is not satan himself. Many think this a Christian song but look at the imagery.
it's 2020. anyone still hear this song ?
I still dont get what saying the year has to do with anything.
Mercy Films coz these songs are oldies lol
Oh Hell Yeah soo Oldschool and Fucking NICE!!! my Childhood 🥰🥰
Yes
Yes I am .. love this..
my dad played this song to me when i was a kid. before things got rough. and i can’t wait to tell him that one day i’m going to play this song to my song with my wife ... and i’m going to give him the happiest life i could ever give him..
What happened bro?
@@Name-uo3wo I think his dad died and he can't wait to meet him at the other side to tell him that he passed the tradition of playing Creed to the next generations
@@Name-uo3wo nothing
My dad passed away two weeks and a half now. I miss him so much… this song makes me think of him… i think this is how he felt when he had me… and i consider myself so so lucky to have him as my dad in this world… now he is in a better place.💔❤️
I want to tell you dad… you did raise me so well… with arms wide open.. i miss you so much.
so sorry.
Sorry
As a dad i can tell u that im sure he loved u more than life itself
@@sergecasas3979 needed this reply, Thank you for this reminder, your kids are lucky to have you, God bless❤️
I can see how this song would be perfect to celebrate the birth of any child, I played this when my daughter was born, I don't know your dad but I can safely assume that he was a great man, I'm happy you two had each other and I hope one day you meet your dad again.
It's magic in me your music some I want to sing songs of your genre
man these voices are rare these days , we must never let this era fade !!!!
YES 100%
It’s terrible 💀
@@jacobrevenge9978 Your entitled to your opinion, thus why bother commenting ? Goodluck with whatever your problem is man , can someone hug thus stranger . He's clearly hurting inside ❤️🌎💜
@@AzorTTV All i said was that his voice was terrible bro
@@jacobrevenge9978 yeah well not everyone can enjoy peanuts but you don't see me hating .....
My dad played this every day when I was a baby so that I knew a piece of him is always there when he passes. Love my dad so much
my condolence brother!
kyjstsgthj
My oldest son's birthday song. I will forever hold this close to my heart ❤❤❤
Played this for the first time to my daughter after her up from her mums house. I was driving/ singing and she was dancing in her car seat, after the song finished she said “that was a cool song dad” a very special moment I don’t think I’ll ever forget ❤️
@@ronaldosantos4636 he alive and gaming dw
My wife asked me for my favourite song and I played this 10 years ago. Then I played it when my first daughter was born. My wife cried. Now my second child is coming into the world next month. Guess what I'm going to play. Thank you for this song
He has a beautiful powerful voice
Just found out I'm gonna be a father. This song was very important to my mother when she was pregnant with me. She found out and then heard this song for the first time the same day. Now almost 22 years, later, here I am.
Late but congrats brother 👍 my son is 25 now and daughter is 21 you will be ok enjoy and embrace it .
It came out just a few weeks before I found out my girl was pregnant. We were just kids back then and we got into a huge fight and she told me to leave, I did. Fast forward till 2022 and I still bawl my eyes out because of my ignorance and pride as a boy.
Congrats from a mama. Love u Dillon and hope u raise him to be a great man ❤
Congrats my man!!! ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️🌈✨
My son is also 22 and named Dillon ! Great song
I cant listen to this song without tearing up my son was born last night and this song makes me feel so happy 😢

❤ prayers for you and your family brother
Congrats Isaac.
Enjoy it brother. Be there for every moment you possibly can. Hold him more than you think you should, take every picture record every video, and don't blink...

So sorry for.your loss
God bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss!!! Such a tragedy!! God bless you!!
This song inspired me to make a song that is inspired by love. If you want to listen to it here is the link: ruclips.net/video/3Wo0zFPt_t0/видео.html
Thank you!
My dad loves telling the story of my birth with this song playing on the room radio. This song gets me every time.
Lyrics
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open, wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open, wide open
Marconi AP ❤
Marconi AP nice touch bro , keep it up
the only gift from this world I ever wanted was to be a dad. And now at 52 that door is closed forever. For all dads out there reading this cherish every moment with your children. The good and the bad. The sad and the scary. The happy and the excitement. Never, ever take fatherhood for granted. Some of us will never reach those shores.
richard courchene sir i am 37 in a few weeks i will be 38 i have no children but i am still wanting children i hope i will have a child one day
ask yourself this. Does my life line up with being able to be a dad? Do I have a stable career? A home of my own? Am I able to focus my life on raising a child? For me I have had to care for my elderly parents these past several years. And that alone prevented me from being a dad. My life was not lined up with being able to be a dad. If your life fully lines up then you can be a dad. You can adopt. You can foster kids. You are young enough to still be a dad!
Listening to this in 2019. It sounds as good as it did almost 20 years ago.
Just found out at 7:25 Am.MY SON WAS BORN , HAD PLAY THIS,,
Steven Martukovich why would it not sound as good😂
Got me through alot
Yeah is crazy
Classic!!!
I don't care what anyone says I love Creed music
Right???
Me too!
This is some legendary music I agree with you
mee too
@@alexandrahyatt1459 yep
Wow, the quality is now outstanding!! Who don't love Creed? They're one of the GREATEST Rock Bands out there.
I listened to this song 4 years before I got pregnant, after having 3 miscarriages. It gave me hope, and now I have a 13 year old son. One of my fav songs of all time.
That is great. God bless you and your son :)
Bababooey
God bless you
You give me hope. 2 miscarriages now...no baby yet
im really happy that you were finally able to be the parent that you wanted to be
My beautiful 47 year old son died 3/12/2021he had a heart attack. We are having a memorial in his honor and this is one.of his favorite songs it will be played
So sorry for your loss!
My heart hurts for you.
May god bless your family...
sorry to hear that
I'm so sorry for your loss. God give you comfort in your time in need. 🙏 I'm sending prayers for you and your family. 😢
Uma das melhores musicas que já ouvi, faz parte de um tempo muito bom que não volta nunca mais.
WITH AHRMS WHIDE OOOHHHPAN
Foi se a época que se fazia boas músicas. Felizes somos nós da geração 70, 80 e 90 onde se fazia músicas de verdade. Agora são só boas recordações.
@@jonathanmagaiver Agora só estrume musical
todos eles são meus
I never thought of Creed as a Christian band.
I just REALLY Love their music.
Extremely great lyrics,
Um abraço à todos que escutaram muito essa obra de arte numa época realmente especial. É meus amigos, só nos resta nostalgia...
nem me fale meu irmão, tantos anos se passaram e aqui estamos nós escutando essa musica maravilhosa novamente, um sentimente indescritivel
😁😁
@@ViToRPCGame É aquela velha frase... Éramos felizes mas não sabíamos.
Verdade irmão. Tempo bom.
Dói um pouco né rs ..
My father used to sing this to me when I was a kid , now he is gone... He passed away 2 years ago , He was an awesome person and I miss him but this song remembers to me all the love he gave to me he was an awesome dad... I can't listen to this song without crying :''')
