Lyrics
HERE'S TO YOU
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1:
It takes a lot of fight to make it in this town.
You face canon [sic] fire from the barricades and legendary ghosts tryin’ to take you down.
There’s always a battle to win.
And God knows where some days you find the strength to begin.
VERSE #2:
It takes a lot of brave to brawl for this crown.
But you hold your quest in your heart; never let your flag fall to the ground.
There’s always the thieves to combat.
And oh how they smile as they drive the swords in your back.
CHORUS:
Here’s to you.
You never let the bandits steal your dream.
Here’s to you.
You never let the dragons crush your bridges,
leave you to fall and drown midstream.
You hold on to see this through.
Here’s to you.
VERSE #3:
It can seem that everyone but you has a magic spell.
It’s like something summons a championing wind that carries them off to a citadel.
And every day, the vultures fly in,
waiting to rip apart your hope if hope looks like it’s dyin’.
CHORUS.
BRIDGE:
Some day you will look back on these times
And you will be proud of yourself, of how your story shines.
You will be thrilled with your life,
when you see how high you’ve climbed.
CHORUS.
