The Welcome Song
Anas al' Hourani

Here's a song to the strangers on the road
And the rainbows
And the sun.
A welcome to the beauty of the skies above you
And the earth beneath your feet
The earth that you forgot to feel
(Do you feel the earth beneath your feet?)

Welcome the stars,
The angels,
The hopes,
And troubles.
Welcome all the troubles of life
And worries and fears
Welcome, you made me grow.

Welcome sacred doubt
You remind me to ask the unknown
To seek to know.

Welcome beauty, manifested in it all.
Welcome the Holy Life as you walk the road.
Welcome, dear stranger, walk with me the road.
