Welcome

(album: Dan Hill - 1975)

Welcome baby boy
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
You're so tiny that it scares me
Your nakedness just stares at me
And I never thought my head
Could spin so high

Welcome baby boy
Don't look so confused
One day I'll try to sit down and explain
That the love that brought you here
Will never change
You're so helpless that it shakes me
Yet so charged with life you make me

So happy that I think I'm gonna cry

Life has come to greet your child
Play it safe play it wild
Reach for the truth beyond
The rules beyond the games
Life is yours and yours along
Free to settle free to roam
Free to grow free to change
Free to fight to stay the same

Welcome baby boy
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
Oh surprise
