Raise a Glass

Well, I know a place where the tunes do flow Where it's hard to find another you don't know Where you'll always find yourself a helping hand How I dearly love this land Now we've had our share of the times so rough Times when many thought, well, I've had enough There were those who left, but in their heart Of this land they'll always be a part So let's raise a glass to those who've come before To those who've made a home here on these shores May your big jib draw for many a year To those who've left, may you always be near Well, I've travelled round this great land of ours Seen many a town, walked the streets for hours Met a whole lot of folk, made a bunch of friends And I'd do it all again Can't begin to describe how much fortune we have This beauty that exists in our untouched land There's a freshness here that is hard to describe Makes one feel good to be so alive So let's raise a glass to those who've come before To those who've made a home here on these shores May your big jib draw for many a year To those who've left, may you always be near So if you travel round our rugged home May you find a place to call your own Take a breath or two, raise your head to the sky And you will see the reason why This rock in the sea's like no other place Put a tune in your heart and a smile on your face May you never forget that sweet salty air To the ocean you'll always be near So let's raise a glass to those who've come before To those who've made a home here on these shores May your big jib draw for many a year To those who've left, may you always be near So let's raise a glass to those who've come before To those who've made a home here on these shores May your big jib draw for many a year To those who've left, may you always be near To those who've left, may you always be near To those who've left, may you always be near Thank you for watching
