Cryin' tears of joy, I'm cryin' tears of pain
Cryin' tears of joy, they run down my face
Into a river that winds its way into your lifeWelcome 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 glanceHey, it's a human race
Hey, it's a brave new place
Hey, now you're at the gateWelcome 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 worldThe past is a memory, the chains that were chokin' me
I'm cryin' tears of pain, I'm cryin' tears of joy
I see my freedom lyin' in my arms tonightHey, it's a human race
Hey, it's a brave new place
Hey, now you're at the gateWelcome to the real world, there's so much to learn
Welcome to the real world
