Crying tears of joy

I'm crying tears of pain

Crying tears of joy

They run down my face

Into a river that winds it's way into your life

Welcome little one

To this place of earth and stone

Welcome little one

All blue eyes and innocence

The world is so much colder

Than your own soft glance

Hey, it's a human race

Hey, it's a brave new place

Hey, now you're at the gate

Welcome to the real world

There's so much to learn

Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the real world

There's so much to learn

Welcome to the real world

The past is a memory

The chains that were choking me

I'm crying tears of pain

I'm crying tears of joy

I see my freedom lying in my arms tonight

Hey, it's a human race

Hey, it's a brave new place

Hey, now you're at the gate

Welcome to the real world

There's so much to learn

Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the real world

There's so much to do

Welcome to the real world

I know you'll find your way

In the real world

Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the, welcome to the

There's so much to learn

Welcome to the

Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the welcome to

Welcome to the real world
