Your mother and I

Your brother and I

And your brother's mother

My mother and I

My brothers and I

And your mother's parents

Your mother and I

Your brother and I

And your brother's mother

My mother and I

My brothers and I

And your mother's parents

And your mother's sister

We welcome you

Welcome, welcome

Come get to know life

I say that it is enjoyable

It has the sun and it has the moon

It has fear and it has the rose

I say that it is enjoyable

It has the night and it has the day

The poetry and it has the prose

I say that it is enjoyable

It has death and it has love

And it has the theme and it has the gloss

I say that it is enjoyable

Your mother and I

Your brother and I

And your mother's brother

And your mother's sister

We welcome you

Welcome, welcome

Come get to know life

I say that it is enjoyable

It has the sun and it has the moon

It has fear and it has the rose

I say that it is enjoyable

It has the night and it has the day

The poetry and it has the prose

I say that it is enjoyable

It has death and it has love

And it has the theme and it has the gloss

I say that it is enjoyable

Your mother and I

Your brother and I

And your mother's brother
