story behind the song: too many obituaries and memories
Lyrics
Raised my glass
to the heavens above
raised it high
and challenged that love
the only answer
the silence that fell
was all lives matter
but all lives end as well
there's always a story,
the good and the bad
tragic endings
worlds that don't last
there's always the glory
the hero and the fool
finding the meanings
and the truths that will do
Raise your glass
in one final toast
Raise your glass
to love and to hope
Raise your glass
and don't you fear
everyone knows loss
and the reason why we're here
one moment forever
one moment beyond
one moment remembered
in our hearts you're never gone
Raise your glass
for that last year
Raise your glass
for one more cheer
Raise your glass
everyone here
in memory of those we love
and everyone who cares
Raise your glass
in one final toast
Raise your glass
to love and to hope
Raise your glass
and don't you fear
everyone knows loss
and the reason why we're here
Raise your glass
for that last year
Raise your glass
for one more cheer
Raise your glass
everyone here
in memory of those we love
and everyone who cares
Raise your glass ...
It isn't over the truth be told
you'll live on in our hearts, strong and bold
