I'm crying tears of joy
I'm crying tears of pain
I'm crying tears of joy
They run down my face
Into a river that winds its 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

CHORUS:
Welcome to the real world
There's so much to learn
Welcome to the real world

The past is a memeory
The chains that were choking me
I'm crying tears of pain
I'm crying tears of joy
I see my freedon lying in my arms tonight

CHORUS
