Welcome Me - Joan Baez

Welcome me to The City of Angels

Devil prophets still hold my hand

I walked your stillborn streets for hours

Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials

They tell me I’ll

I’ll be the first to praise the sun

The first to praise the moon

The first to hold the lone coyote

Last to set it free

Welcome me to a haven given

Oh, it’s well received into my open arms

Oh, I, I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors

I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears

And I feel it all

I’ll be the first to praise the sun

The first to praise the moon

The first to hold the lone coyote

The last to set it free

Welcome me to your City of Angels

There’s a Devil monkey laying on our backs

Now tell me, where’s the heart?

Where’s the bullet for breaking?

Who’s gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon?

An' I need it all

I’ll be the first to praise the sun

The first to praise the moon, oh

The first to hold the lone coyote

The last to set it free

I said, I said, «Welcome me»

I’ll be the first to praise the sun

The first to praise the moon, oh

The first to hold the lone coyote

The last to set it free

I said, «Welcome me»
