Prologue / Welcome to the World Lyrics by Carolee Carmello

John & Jen: A New Musical (Original Cast Recording)

2003

[JEN]
Dearest brother
Please don't hate me
Are you alright?
[JOHN]
I'm fine
[JEN]
I worry about you
[JOHN]
I know
[JEN]
What happened?
[JOHN]
Not now, Jen
[JEN]
Do you blame me?
[JOHN]
Not now, Jen
[JEN]
Was it my fault?
[JOHN]
Remember the old days
[JEN]
Just be careful
Please be careful
[JOHN]
The way we were back then
[JEN]
If anything ever happened to you
[JOHN]
Remember
[JEN]
I would--
[JOHN]
Where is the kid who used to help with my homework?
[JEN]
Where is the kid who used to throw me the baseball?
[JOHN]
Where is the kid who could protect me from Daddy?
[JEN]
Where is the kid who would look out for the other?
[JOHN]
Where are the kids who made a promise forever?
[JEN]
Where are the kids who made a promise forever
[JOHN]
Promise forever
[JEN]
To help out each other?
[JOHN]
To help out each other?
[JEN]
'Cause nothing else mattered
[JEN & JOHN]
One sister, one brother
No, nothing else mattered
But helping each other
Where are those little kids?
[JOHN]
Have you seen them around?
[JEN]
Have you seen them around?
[JEN & JOHN]
Tell them I say "Hi"
[JEN]
Brown hair
Red face
Big green eyes
Weird smell
Big ears
Always cries
Welcome to the world
It's such a funny place
The people who you'll love the most
Are also the ones who make you cry
I'm not sure why
Welcome to the world
I don't know how it works
For some strange reason it's okay
When someone big hits someone small
That's not fair at all
But I'll make sure you're happy
As safe as you can be
I'll never let him hurt you
Trust me
You'll see
Welcome to the world
It's waiting just for you
Starting today
Every step of the way
I'll help you as you grow
Welcome to the world
Say "Hello"
