A Man of No Importance - Welcome to the World Lyrics

2002 Off-Broadway Musical
A Man of No Importance the Musical - Welcome to the World Lyrics

ALFIE:
You thought you knew a bit of life.
You had no clue.
You took a step,
the world came crashing down on you.

And what you’ve feared the most of all happened.
Well, now you’ve come to
Welcome to the world,
Welcome to the world at last!
You’ve been taking tickets far too long, my friend,
Watching the world rolling past.

And there’s music like nothing you’ve heard,
Mister Byrne, if you just let it play.
There are glasses to raise in the praise of surviving the day.

For a life is clearly something that I can’t rehearse
It’s dangerous and beautiful and free as verse
And rather than avoid it,
High time I stood in its way.
Welcome to the world!
I am in the world!
That should be enough.
And that’s all I have to say.
