Lyrics

You Are Welcome Here (capo 5th fret in C)

G C
Mothers fleeing from sad Ukraine,
Artists from the south of Spain,
Dingy subway vagabonds,
South Sea Islanders who fish the ponds,
Chorus
D C G
You are welcome here. (2X)
D C G Em
You are part of the web of life so dear.
C D G
You are welcome here.

Grandmas raising a family or two,
Nurses caring for me and you,
Assembly workers with their power tools,
Young people striking at their schools,
Chorus

Beavers building their river pools,
Oak trees keeping the forest cool,
Wolves out hunting to feed their cubs,
Soil microbes, nematodes and grubs,
Chorus

Farmers out in their sea of wheat, Church choirs with their voices sweet,
Warehouse workers in Nomadland, Navajo in the desert sand,
Chorus
Those who struggle in a binary cage, those discounted for the lack of age,
Those who link arms in the street, Those who hold signs and stamp their feet,
Chorus
BREAK to verse music

Bridge
Am C D
Connections grow like roots in the dark
To all life on Earth and we are just one part.

Dandelions blooming twice a year, Eagles gliding in the air so clear,
Those who’ve fallen to despair, Those who lift them out of their chairs,
Chorus
