Welcome to every second and moment in my life

Welcome to the struggle through which I manage to somehow survive

You're welcome to be there through all the pain and strife

Yet I feel so alive!

Am I alone in this lonely place?

It seems just like I am.

I hope I'm just not another pretty face, taking up empty space

I don't care. I'm continuing to stand.

Are you hearing me?

Is it making a dent at all?

Do believe in what you see?

Heed the pleading call.

To...stand strong against what others may think or say

It's hard, at first, but just listen to me

Conformity is selling out, think what you may

The lazy way out is easy, for sure

But later on, you'll wish for a cure...

Welcome to every second and moment in my life

Welcome to the struggle through which I manage to somehow survive

You're welcome to be there through all the pain and strife

Yet we will all feel so alive.
