Welcome (Alternative)

You'll be a bright light
coming out of the dark
all the doctors blinking hard
You'll be lightning
coming out of the storm
like a message
like a miracle
You'll do alright
you've got your mother's eyes
you've got your daddy's head
everything you need
for this hard ride
we'll be strapping you on
all the ups and downs
and you can't get off
There's trouble
we're handing off
and you've got to do better than us
You'll be alright
you've got lots of time
you've got your daddy's love
everything you want
I can feel you
and what you're gonna be
you'll be stronger,
you'll be smarter than me
Oh baby
I'll say it again
you're the most incredible thing . . .
I'm sorry this is it
it's cold and hard and badly lit
and there's no backing out of it
So do I welcome you to it?
I say let the goddamn games begin
because the God that gives deliverance
has a thing for dissapearing kid
and the fighting on the beach has hit
the 5am to Winnipeg
but the wind will always shift again
and the breath beneath your epilet
has stregnth enough to carry it
If young hands can build you up
you can carve your face in honest rock,
the sunlight on your noble jaw.
Let young hands build you ip,
I'm happy that you've come along
I'm happy that you've come
Oh baby!
I'll say it again, say it again, say it
Oh you're the most incredible thing
