Welcome to Life

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
