Album: The Woman's Boat

Welcome To The World

hush, now
and go to sleep
go to sleep my baby (repeat)

let me welcome you to this world
and let me tell you of my world
how it is
and how it is
you want to know now
I want to say that it's a bad world
and tell you that it's so, so bad
I don't want to disappoint you my child
but this world is gonna take you
gonna take you by storm child
you will be hurt and there will be pain, yeah
but there will be love just the same, yeah
welcome to the world my boy and girl
welcome to the world, welcome to the world

welcome to the world child
and all it has in store
you will do what you do
what you choose any old time
and take how you take
you'll begin to find
that fight as you fight as you will in life
solutions, confusions
won't you take this time now

I want to welcome you to this world
and yes, there'll be days and nights
when you know the world is alrightround and round the world we go
easy come, some say, easy go
the world could be a better place
but it's going to take the whole human race
we want to welcome you to this world
and yes, there'll be days and nights
when you'll wonder is the world right
we want to welcome you to this world
and yes, there'll be days and nights
when you'll know the world is alright

we all bounce on the big world ball
come child, come with me
come and bounce onto this world and see (repeat)

we are joy
we are light
we are darkness and we are night
we are hands and heads and ears and nose
we are feet, fingers, limbs and toes
we all, we all
we are bouncing on this big world ball

we pull triggers
we play with guns
we play with shoelaces and we twist our tongues
we are kisses
we are huggs
we are the match that will light you off
