Welcome

Welcome to this world my little friend
I can’t wait to see you again
This is not the free world
That we all had in mind
Our hopes for peace and freedom still shine

This is not the brave new world
We dreamed would change mankind
Welcome to this world my little friend

I had hoped that in my life
I’d see a change
We’d see the light
Where wars and conflict cease to be
Where love and life lived peacefully
Never have I felt despair
This dying world mankind laid bare
My generations hopes and dreams
Have come to nothing or so it seems

Lying in my arms you smile at me
You fill me full of love, it’s plain to see
With all of us around you
Beside the Christmas tree
Welcome to your loving family

You stretch your arm, I touch your hand
Together we are free
Welcome to your loving family

I had hoped that in my life
I’d see a change
We’d see the light
Where wars and conflict cease to be
Where love and life lived peacefully
Never have I felt despair
This dying world mankind laid bare
My generations hopes and dreams
Have come to nothing or so it seems

I had hoped that in my life
I’d see a change
We’d see the light
Where wars and conflict cease to be
Where love and life lived peacefully
Never have I felt despair
This dying world mankind laid bare
My generations hopes and dreams
Have come to nothing or so it seems

[dislogue]
Is the quest for human kindness lost?
why in the 21st Century do we still count the cost?
Those that feel that life is cheap
And that human desire they feel the need to keep
To subjugate or elimunate their fellow man
To fulfill a greed or genocidal plan
This has never worked, never will
Time to change
