Welcome to my world

Welcome to my world, its safe here 
Welcome to my world, there’s space enough 
Space to live, to decide, to be happy, if I’m lucky 
Welcome to my world 

But ev’ry time I wake up with a start 
When I look around with the eyes of my heart 
No way out I cannot hide. There’s another world outside 

A world of fear, a world of war 
Destructions ’s near, freedom is far 
Where they enslave belief and hope 
Too horrible it is to cope 

Welcome to my world, its safe here 
Welcome to my world, there’s space enough 
Space tot live, to decide, to be happy, if I’m lucky 
Welcome to my world 

I feel so helpless, my thoughts are so blue 
A drop in the ocean is all I can do 
Lord, encourage not to stop, always try to be that drop 

For a world of fear, a world of war 
Destructions ’s near, freedom is far 
Where they enslave belief and hope 
Too horrible it is to cope
