precious moments you'll never forget
this has to be the most beautiful, the most peaceful place I've ever been to
It's nothing like I've never seen before
When I think how far I've come I can't believe it, yet I see it
when I see family I see the way we used to be
Come on

there is nothing we won't do
so come on
welcome to our family time
welcome to our happy to be time
this is the festival
ya know the best of all
we're here to..
We're here to share it all!
About Welcome
Phil Collins' "Welcome" serves as the opening track for the *Brother Bear* original soundtrack, marking a significant shift from his signature synth-pop and rock sound to a warm, acoustic folk style. Recorded for the 2000 animated film, the song features gentle guitar work and vocal harmonies that evoke the natural setting of the story, contrasting sharply with the electronic production of albums like *Face Value* or *Serious Hits-Live!*. While Collins is globally recognized for anthems such as "In the Air Tonight" and "Another Day in Paradise," this recording highlights his versatility as a songwriter and performer capable of crafting intimate, character-driven melodies. The track has become a staple in the Disney canon, resonating with audiences who appreciate its nostalgic atmosphere and its role in establishing the emotional tone of the film's opening scenes.
