Being As An Ocean - Salute e Vita

 

Raise your glass high
And share with me in my joys and grievings
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

My cup has been emptied
So i may see what it tastes like to be free
Cause for so long 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

What can a glass speak of its contents
And can it boast at its 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
(i?ll lift you high)
And give a hearty toast to life
