Lyrics
I’d love to one day sit
And look out from my balcony
With the contented joy
Of someone greeting the entire world
Instrumental
Welcome, happiness
Welcome, sadness
Welcome, unexpected guest
Let me make you some tea
Instrumental
I know we are all here for a minute
And I know that to enjoy this minute
I should do well to welcome it fully
And let it be what it is
So I can be what I am
Instrumental
Just this minute
I am welcoming a desire
To one day look from the balcony
And be content
Instrumental
And in this minute
I am noticing
How fortunate it is
To still be able to look at all
And I am content
And in this minute
I am noticing
How fortunate it is
To still be able to look at all
And I am content
