Raise a Glass

Oh raise a glass and give a cheer --
We've had our woes but we're still here.
We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,
And spend the night most joyfully!

I never seem to have the marks
To buy all that I need,
And when I dwell on that detail
I feel quite sad indeed.
But I have enough for my bill
For soup and drink tonight,
And that lets me forget the rest
And see my life's alright.

So raise a glass and give a cheer --
We've had our woes but we're still here.
We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,
And spend the night most joyfully!

We're in a Pass, yes, that is true,
That poses us a threat.
If Holdless, odds of surviving
Are not those that I'd bet.
But dragons fly to meet that foe --
They've yet to let us down.
Just that thought is more than enough
To keep me from a frown.

So raise a glass and give a cheer
We've had our woes but we're still here
We'll drink a brew or maybe three
And spend the night most joyfully!

We work all day, sun up to down,
Till our bodies grow weary.
We trudge toward home, our heads bent down,
Our eyes bloodshot and bleary.
But what's this we pass on our way?
Delight none will deprive us --
A brand new Tavern*, kegs of ale,
And friends to revive us!

*An open tavern - alternate verse for subsequent use.

So raise a glass and give a cheer --
We've had our woes but we're still here.
We'll drink a brew, or maybe three,
And spend the night most joyfully!
