Welcome to Mine...



Welcome my son's and daughter,
welcome to the world where Ive been,
welcome to the chaos unfolding live in time,
welcome to the inside of your dad's crazy mind.

Welcome to my well dug deep in the ground,
welcome to the hell that was given me,
welcome to the pain and suffering,
welcome to my forest of hope still blooming.

Welcome to my screams of silence,
welcome to the product of my raising,
welcome to the bottom of my cup,
welcome to the other side of the fence.

For so long I wish you all were here,
more I pray you just hold your dad's heart near.
This as time and space separates us,
let your heart be filled with the love of Jesus.

Now you can tell the difference between Heaven & Hell,
now you've seen from where I fell,
now you know the depths of my well,
now you feel what I have to tell.

Believe bigger and better than my mind,
see beyond the horizon that holds a full moon,
stand higher than any mountain I've crawled,
listen deeper than any ear can hear.

Welcome to the realm from which my inner self grew up in,
knowing that every man and woman has a special thorn piercing sin,
it resides deep down within,
always questioning everything that is or that has ever been.

Welcome to the ground holding my tombstone,
welcome to the root that no one sees,
welcome to the branch that's been grafted into the vine,
welcome to the stumbling block resting on the corner stone.

Welcome to my world...
