Lyrics Welcome to Life - Awake At Last

These twisting stars reflect my mind
I stand witness to these changing tides
They say we only live one life
But we've done this for centuries

Bring on the pain, bring the love, the passion, the shame
Teach me despair and I'll play the game
Give me the world, then take it all away

They say

Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where nothing's what it seems, half of it is a dream
And darling, we're a part of everything
Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where failure teaches endlessly the universal mystery
To sacrifice dependency and witness my ascendency

Overtones and painted expressions
The mask we wear to hide our intentions
We win, we lose, we have our obsessions
Our flaws make us beautiful and hatred is senseless

Pain, love, passion, shame
Give me hope, I'll take the fame
Give me the world, then take it all away

They say

Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where nothing's what it seems, half of it is a dream
And darling, we're a part of everything
Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where failure teaches endlessly the universal mystery
To sacrifice dependency and witness my ascendency

Now I'm here, the world's in front of me
If I'm being honest, I'm afraid
This is my life, my kingdom, my legacy
I've got to show them all the way

Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where nothing's what it seems, half of it is a dream
And darling, we're a part of everything
Welcome to life
Welcome to this crazy world
Where failure teaches endlessly the universal mystery
To sacrifice dependency and witness my ascendency
