Cowboy Junkies Lyrics
"When We Arrive"

Welcome to the age of disillusion
To the days of death and anger
Old ideas becomin' stronger
Welcome

Welcome to the days of wine and roses
To the time of lost pursuits
New ideas takin' root
Welcome, welcome

Everythin' unsure
Everythin' unstable
Above all else, keep your actions faithful
But above all else, keep your actions faithful

But what if they cast us seaward
To find new land?
What if we lose each other?
Will we be holdin' hands
When we arrive?

What if they cast us seaward
In search of land?
We may lose each other
But lets be holdin' hands
When we arrive

Welcome to the world of self-delusion
Where the pain stays sealed inside
___? lie aside
Welcome

To the days of death and anger
Old ideas becomin' stronger
To the age of lost pursuits
New ideas takin' root
To this place unsure, unstable
You must keep your actions faithful
To a search for common ground
Where all love will be found
Welcome, welcome
And lets be holdin' hands when we arrive
