~intro:
Raise your glass for the ones who loved without second thoughts
For the ones who are happy with what they got and didn't ask for more
Raise your glass for the underdog who didn't lose faith
Raise your glass for the ones who didn't let the thing that held them together
Walk away...
One more year has come and gone away
Sit next to me today
As we write on pieces of paper the things
We couldn't accomplish without His hand
And let's pray it will be better next year.
Let's pray that fear won't hold us back
Let's hope for no other panic attack
Every time we think about changing
Let's embrace it
Next year...
~chorus:
So raise your glass for the hungry
Who got some bread tonight
Raise your glass for the soldier coming home who lost the fight
But didn't lose his life.
Oh, no...
Raise your glass for the passionate teacher who'll change the world
For the new generation of kids who wanna be heard
Here's to the ones who care more about music than clothes
Tonight... Raise your glass for us.
Dare to lose yourself tonight
You may even find a better version of yourself you'll like
One that will make you question what you've lived until now
One that will make you really stand out
No one wants to be just one more face in the crowd.
But you don't gotta look good
You don't gotta wear white
You just gonna be you
And I promise you'll shine
Get out of your shell
Dare to be the best version of yourself
Tonight...
~repeat chorus~
~bridge:
So here's to the air guitar players
That dare to fly with a broom
The ones who'll get to Broadway
But will have the time of their lives fearless dancing around the room
Raise your glass for the things we've done
And for the ones we wish we didn't do
Raise your glass for the proud moms
Raise your glass for me and you.
~repeat chorus~
~outro:
Raise your glass for the lonely
For the ones who don't have someone to hold them when it gets cold
Drop the cup, and I hope your new year's resolution may
Be not letting the one who means everything walk away.
Raise your glass for the ones who loved without second thoughts
For the ones who are happy with what they got and didn't ask for more
Raise your glass for the underdog who didn't lose faith
Raise your glass for the ones who didn't let the thing that held them together
Walk away...
One more year has come and gone away
Sit next to me today
As we write on pieces of paper the things
We couldn't accomplish without His hand
And let's pray it will be better next year.
Let's pray that fear won't hold us back
Let's hope for no other panic attack
Every time we think about changing
Let's embrace it
