lyrics

Welcome to a world of Maybeline and make believe
You can be all you can be, live the life and dream the dream
Welcome to a world where TV is reality
And the real world?
Nothing more than a reverie
Welcome to freedom equals sex
And worth is nothing more than a pickup line and one drink more
Welcome to a world where the lines are always blurred
And shades of grey paint every driveway
Here, insanity reigns though we feign to believe that we're all quite sane

Welcome to my world
Here we believe that love is a lie
Though we dare to dream of a time when love was alive
In this world Bieber can mend a broken heart,
But God? He can't be real. No he's just a crutch for us to hide behind

Welcome to our world
Here hope is fleeting, purpose obselete, and yet we were made for more
At least we should be, or so we hope
Deep down in places that we rarely choose to see
For this is a world where we're always lonely
Hiding our pain and our shame behind layers of trickery
Painting our lives with shades of happy
That are merely seen but do not resonate
For this is a temporary dye
A fix for the moment to hide the lies that are our lives
As we gasp for authenticty
A real reality
Something more than a soundbyte, something bigger than MTV

So welcome to a world where contradiction is the way, freedom is at play, and tomorrow is just another day
Welcome to a world through the eyes of a generation that knows too much and seen too much
And still knows nothing at all
Drowning in a sea of information, yet has no truth at all
Here rose coloured glasses mask the eyes of a cynic and wit and cliche hide a heart torn apart
Battered and bruised, abused and used, it cries out for another world

A world of joy
A world of light
A world where everything's gonna be alright
A place where faith love and hope are more than just words or a pumchline
But they are real and they remain even in the midst of storm and rain
Yes hear the heartbeat of a people
United in their desire to leave their mark on a land that can seem so dry, so barren, and so dark
Clinging to the hope that here in their world
Here in our world
And here in my world there is more than we can see
That these dreams can become a reality

So welcome to a world that is more than make believe, more than we can see, and more than we can conceive
Welcome to a world where love is alive and rest is found in love's arms and hope inhis eyes
And faith in him, gives hearts new life

Welcome to love's world
His is a world that I long to breathe, that I long to taste, that I long to see
Welcome to a world where you're never lonely
Enrobed in his peace there's no pain, and no shame
For love never changes he's always the same
No need to run, no need to hide
For love never leaves you he's always by your side
Welcome to a world where grace abounds and love's reach knows no bounds
Inconceivable, incomparable, love shines with a light that does not blind
Through love's eyes you can always see
And his is a world where my heart yearns to be

Now don't be fooled this world is more than just a dream
It is a reality that has yet to be
And deep down in places that I'll never
I know that one day love's world will be
So until then, I hope and I pray
Waiting, knowing that love will find a way
A way to you, a way to me
A way to this world that can seem so crazy
And as the curtain falls and marks its end
There's no need to doubt and no need to fear
For the coming of love's world is surely near
