LYRICS (copyright 2008):

VERSE:
welcome to the world baby boy
you came just in time

cuz there was something missing and we couldnt put our finger on it
then you smiled

welcome to the world baby boy
i remember my day

25 years ago i came out laughing
and i can still hear the angels sayin

CHORUS A:
remember not to live so straight
its supposed to be fun, theres no such thing as late
and therell be things that will disturb you
people in your life that will hurt you
and sleeping you might toss and turn,
but you learn

VERSE:
welcome to the world little one
what will become of you?

cuz there was room for something but we couldnt put our finger on it
till you blinked the truth truth

remember nothings comes on its own
its supposed to be gradual, like sand from stone
and new lifes always here to remind me
the really big deals are all tiny
and each unfolds in turn,
and you learn

CHORUS A

VERSE:
welcome to the world little star
you know thats all you are

cuz a billion years ago something tiny contracted
weve come a long way, but were still reacting

sayin this is mine. i bought it. i own in
and others protest and bemoan it
its a great big mess that was built to pass
sure to self-destruct as nothing lasts
and you will inherit the burden
hope you learn

CHORUS B

VERSE:
welcome to the world baby boy
make no mistake

we need the new perspective even though its getting crowded here
so we dont forget whats at stake

and we may not get this it this time
this false separation of yours and mine
and if we keep blaming our problems
on someone else, pointing he caused them
but in the new world therell be no them,
just friends

CHORUS A
CHORUS B
