Montage of my 3 1/2 year old, set to Bon Jovi's song, Welcome to Wherever You Are:

Maybe we're all different, but we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life; you've made it this far
Welcome; you've got to believe
That right here, right now is exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are

When everybody's in and you're left out
And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself and not what other people say
When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down
Remember everybody's different, just take a look around

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life; you've made it this far
Welcome, you've got to believe
Right here, right now, you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you want, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star

When you want to give up and you heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life; you've made it this far
Welcome, you've got to believe
Right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
