Welcome  to the human race
With  it's wars,  disease and brutality
You  with your innocence  and grace
With  still some pride and dignity
 To a world in decline
 Welcome  to the special place
In  a heart  of stone it's cold  and grey
You  with your angelface
Keep  the dispair,  babe, and send it away
Show  me the meaning  of the world
Show  me the meaning  of the world
'Cause  I've heard  so much about  it
Now,  I don't wanna  live  without it
Now,  I don't wanna  live  without it
Oh,  I want love
Oh,  I want love
Oh,  I want love
Welcome  if I'm out of space
The  milky  way's still in  your eyes
You  find yourself a hopeless  case
When  you're seeking perfection  on earth
 As some kind of rebirth
Show  me the meaning  of the world
Show  me the meaning  of the world
'Cause  I've heard  so much about  it
Don't  make me live  without  it
Oh,  I want love
Oh,  I want love
Oh,  I want love
