Talkin' on the phone and watchin' the "Cribs"
He doesn't know what kinda guy he is
He's got a gold plated ceiling in the TV show
A broken heart and he doesn't even know

CHORUS
He's glad to see you
Yes, he's glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting,
They've been waiting for years
And they've just gotta hear it
The kids are all waiting,
They've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us

The world can be quiet when you're up too late
I'm just a childhood prisoner of the garden gate
If it's broke then kick it, dust yourself off
Find a quiet place and have a good laugh

CHORUS
I'm glad to see you
Yes, I'm glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting,
They've been waiting for years
And they've just gotta hear it
The kids are all waiting,
They've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us
