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.
