Salute e Vita

[Verse] Raise your glasses high, and share with me in my joys and griefings I toast to the mountains and valleys, To the future and the days gone by I invite you in with good humor and levity All I have is yours and I pray that you drink deeply [PreChorus] My cup has been emptied So I may see what it tastes like to be free Cause for so long this glass, this glass has owned me Focused on the chalice rather than what it contained So I gave all of worth to the needy and the rest to the sea Then I looked around at all of the beautiful things, that I had gained That I had gained [Chorus] What can a glass speak of it's contents And can it boast at it's filling? What else could it do but mutter a quiet thanks So it is that I look forward to my spillings For I am sure that such times are the only thing steadying my hands from their violent shaking So with gladness in my heart and hope in my eyes I drink to my fill of Your celebration wine And as I pour glass after glass I'll lift it high (x4) And give a hearty toast to life
