The truth is the world is broken
The truth is we'll always see
The tears and pain and the dark
The truth is we shall always fight
While on this side of heaven
So welcome, my dear, to life!
But truth is the world has beauty
The truth is we'll also see
The dawning of joy and hope
The truth is blessings come as well
Even in this world; broken
So welcome, my friend, to life!
The truth is we will fail at times
The truth is we will be failed
By those that we trust and love
The truth is we will be hurt deep
But we'll hurt others as well
So welcome, human, to life!
The truth is we shall rise above
Truth is we will be raised up
By others who hold us close
The truth is we will heal within
And love and hope is right here
So welcome, healer, to life!
Welcome to the life that we live
Welcome to pain and healing
With all your brethren; welcome
To a life of joy and grieving
And of hope; of chances; and change
Yes, welcome, dear one, to life!
