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 Welcome to the human race
Welcome to the human race
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 to the human race
Welcome Welcome Welcome to the human race
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
Welcome to the human race It says welcome Welcome to the human race
