KARIBUNI
 
Welcome to this world, new friend
            Warm arms welcome you in
To this world of possibility
            As your life with us begins.
It’s a place to dance, a place to sing,
            A place to laugh and cry.
Journeys and faces, emotions and place
            Inviting discovery.
 
Welcome to our hearth, new friend
            Where the fires of love blaze warm.
Where walls of stone, stout and strong
            Will shelter you from harm.
Where you can dance. You can sing.
            You can laugh and cry.
Where you can sleep long and deep
            While warm love stays close by.
 
Welcome to our hearts, new friend.
            We’ll love you honestly.
The journey of love, its struggles and songs
            Will be yours to share and see.
And together we’ll learn to dance and sing.
            Together we’ll laugh and cry
Then you can trust the love within
            When it’s time for you to fly.
