Welcome to the World Songtext
von Ziggy Marley

Welcome to the world
I cant promise it′s a good place
Welcome to the world
And I cant promise it's a cool place
Welcome to the world
Yeah, I don′t promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world
Yeah

I could tell you stories
I tell you the truth
I could sugar coat it
Try to make you the fool
And soon you'll see anyway
That this is life
And soon you′ll see anyway
That you got to fight


Welcome to the world
I cant promise it′s a good place
Welcome to the world
And I don't promise it′s a cool place
Welcome to the world
Yeah, I don't promise it′s a good place
Welcome to the world
Yeah

I could give you roses
For you to make your bed
But this bed of roses
Is only in your head
'Cause every rose has its thorn
Well, every hero must be worn, alright

I don′t know when innocence is lost
And I don't know when you pay the cost
Hey, if your back gets against a wall
You've got to stand up for who you are

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
I don′t promise it′s a cool place
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Yeah


People are suffering
Children have no food
Just keep your eyes wide open
And check the golden rule
Child, love inside will make you cry
The fighting side will make you try, yeah

Welcome to the world
My, my, my, my, my, my baby boy
Welcome to the world
Oh, yeah, yeah
Welcome to the world
Yeah, I like to tell you like it is
Welcome to the world
Oh, yeah, yeah

Welcome to the world
I don't promise
Welcome to the world
Again, ah
Welcome to the world
I can′t promise it's a cool place
Welcome to the world
Oh, yeah
