The Toast
Raising Glasses to Life's Symphony
Lyrics
raise up your glasses
Raise your glasses in a celebratory gesture
let us drink to the wind at our backs
Let's toast to favorable conditions guiding us
may it always blow steady, wherever you roam
May these conditions remain constant wherever you go
may it turn when you're ready to carry you home
May they change when needed to lead you back home
may it keep you ahead of the rain
May they help you stay ahead of troubles
raise up your glasses
A repetition of raising glasses for a toast
let us drink to the heavens above
Drinking to the mystery and beauty of the sky
some say it's a glimpse god's great design
Debating whether the sky represents divine creation or scientific principles
some say it's the science of all things combined
Recognizing it as a combination of both perspectives
may we look up and always feel wonder
May we always feel awe and amazement looking upwards
here is to us and all that we see
Celebrating ourselves and everything around us
here's to our hearts and the air that we breathe
Toasting to our lives and the essential element we breathe
here's to a round in good company
Cheers to good times with good friends
here's to the drink that we share
Cheers to the drink we share together
raise up your glasses
Again, lifting glasses for a celebratory moment
let us drink to the time that we have
Toasting to the value of the present time
for these moments pass lightly and won't come again
Recognizing the fleeting nature of these moments
may our lives all burn brightly, right up til the end
May our lives shine brightly until their conclusion
may we live with them with joyous abandon
May we live these lives with unrestrained joy
raise your glasses
Another gesture of raising glasses
let us drink to the end of the day
Drinking to the completion of a day's work
let us drink to the work when the working is through
Acknowledging the effort put in when work is finished
let us drink one to me and let us drink one to you
Toasting to oneself and others for their contributions
let us drink one to those who aren't with us
Remembering and toasting those absent from the gathering
here is to us and all that we see
Reiterating celebration of ourselves and our surroundings
here's to our hearts and the air that we breathe
Reaffirming the importance of life and sustenance
here's to a round in good company
Again, celebrating camaraderie and good times
here's to the future, here's to the past
Toasting to both the future and the past
let us drink one down slow, let us drink one fast
Suggesting varied paces of enjoying the drink of life
let us drink one as if this night is our last
Encouraging savoring the moment as if it's the last
here's to the drink that we share
Reiterating the celebration of the shared drink
