"Welcome to Holland" c2004 by Will Livingston
You were set
You had made all of your plans
had the summer to yourself
you were off to Paris, France
Just to see
A place you thought you'd never be
and from the history to the food
right down to your parlez-vous
But as the plane is touching down
you start to look around
and you don't recognize this town
and then you hear
Welcome to Holland
This may not be what you had planned
but it's where we had to land today
we hope that you enjoy your stay in Holland
And I know, I know, I know
I'll grow to understand
The master's plan
right here in Holland
You've grown up
You've matured beyond those years
set aside your foolish doubts
cast away your childish fears
And now a wife
and soon a baby on the way
momma's got a month to go
but that boy won't wait another day
And as the doctors gather you around
to tell you what they've found
your heart
your heart nearly hit the ground
But ain't that the way life seems to go
you look one way your going down another road
Welcome to Holland
This may not be what we had planned
the cards just fell into our hands this way
we are merely potter's clay in Holland
And I've been here once before
I learned that God has
bigger things in store
for us in Holland |
