lyrics
Delivery room, coming out of the womb,
Welcome to the world.
First breath rushes in, cool air on your skin,
We’re gonna name you, girl.
I make a pledge here tonight, teach you wrong from your right,
Roll over, sit, and stand,
Learn how to smile, it might take a while,
‘til you can do it on command.
But just like everyone, you’ll learn what needs to get done
And walk on the path that I choose.
Just do as you’re told, ‘til your ninety years old.
What have you got to lose?
<chorus> Welcome, child. Stay mild.
Welcome to the fold, you’re only moments old,
But I hope you are listening.
Christian, Muslim, or Jew? We have chosen for you.
Enjoy your christening.
We’ve got it all figured out. There’s just no need for a doubt,
Or a speck of critical thought.
One day you’ll make us proud, when you say out loud,
Everything that I was taught.
<chorus> Welcome, child. Stay mild.
The things we’re doing to you, were done to us too,
Though no one’s quite sure why.
I have a story to tell, about heaven and hell,
Though I’m pretty sure it’s a lie.
You see now I would be sad, if you haven’t had,
The experiences I did,
Heard the lessons I heard, earned the badges I earned,
Back when I was a kid.
I'm a middle school math teacher, author/illustrator, and insufferable tea snob. I used to play drums in a cover band but
we sort of fell apart. After that, I couldn't find anyone to make music with me anymore so I went off and did my own thing. Thanks very much for checking out my biography. I hope you enjoy my music....more
