Welcome All Again Lyrics

Welcome All Again!

Waking the day,
All seems in order,
Sweet wine to taste
The world's now starting...

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I've got the mountain foreground.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I've got the river deep down.

ooooooooooooooh
Welcome all my friends,
ooooooooooooooh
Welcome all again.

Nightime in bloom,
It's not so frightening,
Swim with the moon,
That's how we like it.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
We've got the singer singing.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
We've got the drinker drinking.

ooooooooooooooh
Welcome all my friends,
ooooooooooooooh
Welcome all again.

ooooooooooooooh
Welcome all my friends...

...Welcome all my friends!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

How has no one commented on this song??

Best song on the Rabbit album. Possibly their best opening song ever. Actually, forget possibly, I'm saying it IS their best introductory ever. The lyrics aren't as good as other songs on this album, but they are perfect for the kickoff song to get your attention! Just setting the scene with a drink in hand and a nice view hanging out with friends. Plus i always enjoy summer night swimming when i can. Great job on guitar, Joel. It's rare I give a single the best song on the album, but this song is too damn good. Heavy enough, but not too much. And not poppy either. The build up in the middle of the song is key, I'm almost always a fan of songs like that. The new gold standard for an opening song for the band. "Heavy" will have to relinquish that title.
