The driftwood picture frame That your grandfather made As a child, down in steerage Fleeing famine, fleeing flood Hangs over the TV Where you curse the refugees As he watches from that photo From that gangway, from your door If he knocked would you pull the blinds Lock your legacy outside Or would you hold him Say you're welcome You are wanted You are home You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You are welcome here Don't listen to the castle Listen to the masses You're welcome You are welcome here If you can shrug off the pain Of a suffering stranger at your gate Say goodbye to the Jesus That you never really claimed Because we were all the unwelcomed One time or another But together built a manger Ripped the doors off and called it ours You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You are welcome here Don't listen to the castle Listen to the masses You're welcome You are welcome here The unwelcome built your roads Laid your rails and framed your homes Lighted your rooms, lassoed the moon Mended your hearts, mended your bones So bring on the homeless, bring on the lost Bring on the refuse tempest tossed The lamp of liberty is low We need you now, we need you so So Bring on the Muslim, bring on the Sikh Bring on the good and bruised and weak Bring the Christian, bring the drifting Bring the brave and bring the meek You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You're welcome You are welcome here Don't listen to the castle Listen to the masses You're welcome You are welcome here You're welcome You're welcome You are home
