I was so young when I was born My eyes could not yet see And by the time of my first dawn Somebody holding me they said I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace We've been expecting you You bring such joy in Crackerbox Palace No matter where you roam know our love is true While growing up or trying to Not knowing where to start I looked around for someone who May help reveal my heart someone said While you're a part of Cracerbox Palace Do what the rest all do Or face the fact that Crackerbox Palace May have no other choice than to deport you I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace We've been expecting you You bring us joy in Crackerbox Palace No matter where you roam know our love is true Sometimes are good sometimes are bad That's all a part of life And standing in between them all I met a Mr. Grief - and he said I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace Was not expecting you Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace Know that the Lord is well and inside of you
