Lyrics Welcome To the World - Ziggy Marley

Welcome to the world, I can't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, I can't promise it's a cool place
Welcome to the world, I can't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, yeah

I could tell you stories, I tell you the truth (Welcome to the world)
I could sugar coat it, try to make you the fool (Welcome to the world)
And soon you'll see anyway that this is life (Welcome to the world)
And soon you'll see anyway that you got to fight

Welcome to the world, I don't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, and I can't promise it's a cool place
Welcome to the world, now I can't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, yeah

I could give you roses for you to make your bed (Welcome to the world)
But this bed of roses is only in your head (Welcome to the world)
'Cause every rose has its thorn, oh yeah (Welcome to the world)
And every ego has its wants, oh now

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

Welcome to the world, I can't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, so I can't promise it's a cool place
Welcome to the world, so I can't promise it's a good place
Welcome to the world, yeah, yeah

People are suffering, children have no food
Keep your eyes wide open, check the golden rule
The love inside will make you cry
The fight inside will make you try, yeah

Welcome to the world, oh yeah, na-na-now
Welcome to the world, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma my baby boy
Welcome to the world, oh, I tell ya like it is
Welcome to the world, oh, yeah, oh
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
