Welcome To The Human Race

I've been loved and I've been hated
 I've been praised and vilified
 I've been accused and vindicated
 And precious been applied
 I've been interrogated validated
 Left without my pride
 Sometimes I have told the truth
 Sometimes I have lied
 And when I find my self
 In a cold and empty space
 And then a voice inside says welcome
 I've been wounded, I've been damaged
 I've been down upon my knees
 Praying for forgiveness
 From my enemies
 Sometimes grand illusions
 They start clouding up my eyes
 Then I get lost in my illusions
 But I get caught down aside
 When I found I myself
 With teardrops on my face
 Then a voice inside, it says welcome
 Welcome
 Welcome
 I've been in jail I've been in pail
 I've been high and I've been low
 Just what I've been running from
 I guess I never know
 I've been packaged and presented
 For everyone to see
 Welcome and resented
 But I guess I am always gonna be
 Hiding in the shadow
 Just cryin' upon my face
 And I hear a voice inside me
 that says welcome
 to the human race
 It says welcome
