Welcome Welcome to this world There’s so much I want to say Welcome to this world on your very special day If I could save you some time with a few thoughts of mine To help you along your way Welcome to this world today Well, there’s Beatles and love You’ll find out soon enough I’d be quite remiss, if I don’t mention that stuff But… I probably should say what goes on unsaid Like, people are off’ed for the thoughts in their head Welcome to this world today You did a good job on the luck of your draw But there’s no mansion waiting at the end of your crawl Just a lifetime of hustle and constant demands To stack up some cash that you snatch from their hands Welcome to this world today Oh, the map it is full of made up dotted lines That you might be asked to kill for at times Mix power, some gods, and the tribal insane But we’ll get to that later For now let’s say welcome to this world today There’s My Lai and Hanoi, Parkland and Auschwitz The Troubles, the Purge, Inquisition, the Blitz Rwanda, Darfur, Crusades, Lebanon With just time for names I can go on and on Welcome to this world today Well I marched for the children I marched for your mom But their lighting the stage where they left a time bomb Since the planet is burning, its all quite a mess You’d think we could leave it much better than this Welcome to this world today Copyright 2020 Geoffrey Raines, SR 2022 Raines
