Welcome, Brother

Welcome to the family, brother
Welcome, sister, in to our house
Bring your stories and bring your strife
Bring some wine and we'll drink to your health
We've got work to do and love to be given
So, brothers and sisters, don't let me down
We've got work to do and love to be given
So, brothers and sisters, don't let me down

I met the King down in India that summer
He stared at me with eyes that'd seen the pain of another
Well, I've been traveling with this cursed pride
And not even ale could make it die
You're better off abandoning me

Sonny McGreet was a prince down at Harvard
Mind over speak he never listened to the words of his father
But he met his match down in Santa Fe
He'd never seen the light of day
He lit one up and drove to the sea

Well I'm on the floor and I'm cold as ice
And these streets of Paris watch me die
And oh, oh, oh-oh
Through the door I see a light
Where prince and beggar dance all night
And oh, oh, oh-oh
Hopeless through the door I fell
My head spun like a carousel
And oh, oh, oh-oh
Eyes were fixed and set on me
I felt my heart begin to beat for the first time in a long time
And that's when He said...
