To you who lose the road home but go
Where your feet lead you and you know
To those who have harsh words only because
They couldn't clear things up with themselves
To those with no secret to whisper
But a lie to undo
To those who don't ask forgiveness
Welcome to tears that move
To a sky that promises snow
Welcome to those who smile, who throw down challenges
To those who swap their advice with yours
Welcome to a train bound for the sea
And that gets there in time for Christmas
Welcome to an artist, to their passion
Welcome to those who'll never change
To this moon that makes dreams come true or gives them
Or hides them in opportunity
To those who put on makeup in the car
And let this long winter be welcome
If it ever helps us grow
And to those who still don't have it
Welcome to tears that move
To a sky that promises snow
Welcome to those who strip, for work or want
And ask the stars for help or mercy
Welcome to the brides' doubt
To a minute full of surprises
Welcome to a musician, to their song
And to the chords that become mine
To all the rest then who knows
Welcome to tears that move
To a sky that promises snow
Welcome to those who smile, who throw down challenges
And to those who swap their advice with yours
Welcome to a train bound for the sea
It sparks and gets there in time for Christmas
Welcome to an artist, to their intuition
Welcome to a new year for us
For everything and for us
