Lyrics

It was the summer of my discontent
It was the fall of a lifetime
It was the winter of my penitence
Waiting on the springtime
Well, it was dark sackcloth and ashes
For a couple o' years
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
I cried a bundle of tears
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
And yet, you're welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way
Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
I was sinking, but I did not drown
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
I could be lost and found
Well, I was temporarily disconnected
In a state of disrepair
Disoriented and dejected
I had to climb out of there
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
And it's welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way
Through the labyrinth and down
'Til you land on solid ground
Welcome back
It was a pretty dark day
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way
Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back'
It was a pretty dark day
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
I guess I'm on my way
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back
