Welcome to the world my son
You won't have to worry none
This old world is lots of fun

Welcome to sixteen my friend
Your innocence is at an end
Someday you'll remember when

You set sail on the sea of life
Steel your ship through every tide
In time you'll make it too
You'll make it to the shore

Young man now you're twenty-one
You don't have to worry none
So many paths to travel on

Welcome father to your prime
You are not quite thirty-nine
If you could only find the time

You would set sail on the sea of life
And steel your ship through every tide
In time you'll make it too
You'll make it to the shore

Pages turning hair is grey
Your children grown and gone away
Is there something you forgot to say?

Welcome to the end old one
You can face the setting sun
You can leave some dreams undone

Set sail on the sea of light
Steel your ship through every tide
Don't worry you'll make it too
You'll make it to the shore

Welcome to the world my son
You just left the other one
You won't have to worry none
