[Intro]
Welcome to planet Earth
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground can twist and turn

[Verse 1]
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground may twist and turn
Choose your friends wisely
For just when you think you know someone
They could abandon you with scorn
Oh, little one

[Chorus]
Your mother
Will hold you in her arms
Your father
Will teach you his dignity and charm

[Verse 2]
Welcome to planet hate
To this emotion that I berate
Yet some people force me
To feed my violent seed
What have we become?
The damage remains
And cannot be undone
Oh, little one
[Chorus]
Your brother
May stab you in the back and laugh
Your sister
Will love you unconditionally
As all life should be

[Bridge]
What have we become?
The damage remains
And cannot be undone

[Solo: Loomis]

[Verse 3]
Stare into the sky with newborn perfect eyes
Oh, little one, enjoy your time
There will be heartache, there will be rain
And joy I can't explain
My precious little one, explore your time

[Chorus]
Your mother
Will hold you in her arms and smile
Your father
Will teach you his dignity and charm
