The years only reveal

I'm looking for a hug for you

That life is a mystery

One pink, one blue

From decaying and reborn

I have no idea what you love

It will continue in a circle forever and ever

Suddenly I realize that this very moment

Aren't we asking too much of you

The symbol represents the great unknown

Isn't our life already too busy

I pretend to be bigger than I really am

We're rushing into new phases

I'm sorry that the great unknown oppresses me

But when you are here and I see how small you are

Everything feels new and it seems like I've known you for years

I hope you know somewhere that you lack nothing

You are more than welcome

I listen to your heartbeat

I'm so curious who you look like

Feel you kicking my hands

More like your mother or me

You're growing bigger or getting stronger

Hoping for a mix of both

Before you throw yourself into life

But when you are here and I see how small you are

Everything feels new and it seems like I've known you for years

I hope you know somewhere that you lack nothing

You are more than welcome

So big, so small, can be a miracle

You make life as beautiful as it can be

In this more than short time

You have already enriched my life

Know that your bed is made

But when you are here and I see how small you are

Everything feels new and it seems like I've known you for years

I hope you know somewhere that you lack nothing

You are more than welcome

When you are older

And I look at this moment

I know that the time in between has had some valleys

But that's how life goes

The only thing I hope for

That you are happy

SONG MEANING

Welkom by Dutch duo Nick & Simon is a heartfelt letter to an unborn child. The lyrics capture that magical mix of excitement, curiosity, and a pinch of nerves that washes over parents-to-be: choosing tiny pink or blue cuddly toys, wondering whose eyes the baby will inherit, and feeling the little kicks that make the future suddenly feel very real. Life may be a swirling mystery, but in this moment the parents find clarity—they already love this tiny newcomer more than anything and want the baby to know it will never lack a thing.

At the core of the song lies a promise. No matter how chaotic the world gets, the child is meer dan welkom—more than welcome. The parents admit they do not have all the answers, yet they vow to create a safe, loving home and hope, above all, that their child grows up happy. The tune is both a lullaby and a time capsule, capturing the awe of new life and the timeless circle of generations that keeps on turning.
