Lyrics

[Verse 1] Long through the dark, my orbit I rolled All waterless desert and waterless cold Waiting for changes through ages untold To me Welcome, welcome, to your second home [Verse 2] Scarce was the life I nurtured at all Changelessly simple and changelessly small Waiting for hope from heaven to fall To me Welcome, welcome, to your second home [Verse 3] Fortunate sister, so richly endowed Be not too selfish and be not too proud To send me some children - a trickle, a crowd To me Welcome, welcome, to your second home [Verse 4] Ventures and fosterlings, coming at last Breaking my silence from long ages past To this bare breast I bid you, hold fast! To me Welcome, welcome, to your second home [Verse 5] I am not easy - I put you to test! Show me your willingness, show me your best For long must you labor before you can rest To me Welcome, welcome, to your second home [Instrumental] [Verse 6] Come dress me in green! Come cover my scars! And I'll set you well on the road to the stars Accept from my bedrock the blessings of Mars! To me Welcome, welcome, to your second... Welcome, welcome, to your second... Welcome, welcome, to your second home
