Lyrics:
Welcome to my world, won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart, leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door shall be open, seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given the key to this heart of mine
I'll be waiting there with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you, welcome to my world


Welcome to my world
