I've been loved and I've been hated

I've been praised and vilified

I've been accused and vindicated

And precious been applied

Been interrogated validated

Left without my pride

Sometimes I have told the truth

Sometimes I have lied

And when I find my self

In a cold and empty space

And then a voice inside says welcome

Welcome to the human race

Welcome to the human race

I've been wounded

I've been damaged

I've been down upon my knees

Praying for forgiveness

From my enemies

Sometimes grand illusions

They start clouding up my eyes

Then I get lost in my illusions

But I get caught down aside

When I found myself

With teardrops on my face

Then a voice inside

It says welcome

Welcome to the human race

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome to the human race

Hey yeah yeah hey

I've been in jail I've been in pail

I've been high and I've been low

Just what I've been running from

I guess I never know

I've been packaged and presented

For everyone to see

Welcome and resented

But I guess I am always gonna be

Hiding in the shadow

Just cryin' upon my face

And I hear a voice inside me

That says welcome

To the human race

Welcome to the human race

It says welcome

Welcome to the human race

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
