Welcome
Woodland Choir Lyrics

The lyrics of Woodland Choir's song "Welcome" convey a sense of spiritual searching for something that is always there, but difficult to grasp. The opening line speaks of a journey, a quest for the "essence" that the singer has been seeking. However, despite this search, they could never "catch" the "presence" they were looking for. The remainder of the lyrics seems to invite the listener to join them on a journey, with a sense of reassurance that there is "no worry" and that they are each other's "fairy". The path they walk together is described as neverending, with all the potential of the beginning. The singer here seems to be providing a sense of hope, that even when things seem impossible and out of reach, there is a path and a companion to walk it with.

The second half of the lyrics seem to provide images of nature and growth to reinforce these messages of hope and companionship. Trees, mountains, brooks, and rivers are all present, all things that point towards natural cycles that are unending and just as much a part of the journey as the singer and the listener themselves. The seeds referred to might be literal or metaphorical, but either way, they symbolize the growth and potential that comes from joining together on the journey. And finally, the imagery of spring and flowers bursting forth suggest the notion of new beginnings, and an assurance that even when things seem hopeless, there is always something new and beautiful just around the corner.
