I LOVE TIHS SONG
Just saw Creed with my 8 year olds and 5 year old and the singer addressed all the kids in the crowd before this song...he knew his fan base was now 40ish and had kids with them. ;)
i love this song its a really great song
Everything changes for the better when you have children. Great tune!
beautiful song :)
Sorry to be negative here but DJ - go away

Creed is awesome...I am sure they were an inspiration to their many fans as well as many bands that have followed.
you are strange
A father's song. This captures the feeling that a man gets when his child is born perfectly.

He said once in an interview that he wrote this song for his new born son
thank you msbahe! Seriously learn ur history melanie allen14! 2001 comes AFTER 1999!
msbahe
OK melanie allen14 check this out.

Human Clay was released September 28, 1999. NEWS FLASH: 9-11 didn't occur until 2001! "PREGO" WIN!!!
Creed is a AWSOME band
No the song With Arms Spread Wide Opened Is about the 9-11 They wrote it for that song its not about some one being prego.
not one of my favs
one of a kind, love it
These were the great days of Real music. Now these days. some band just does a bunch of yelling etc and calls it a song.
