Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The half-full glass is almost gone
But there might be a drop that's still floatin'
Raise it high for a clearer sky
And we'll all get by
Here's to hopin'
[Verse 2]
While we get back up on our feet
Remember what was sweet while you're copin'
To your health and stayin' well
Lots of tales to tell
Here's to hopin'
[Verse 3]
Catch a glimmer while it's getting dimmer
There's a tiny ray
Different choices from an inner voice
That you want to say
Any little bit helps
And it seems like something great
It's not too late
[Verse 4]
I'll be glad when we building back
From ashes that are still smokin'
We can rise and relearn to fly
While we're getting by
Here's to hopin'
[Verse 5]
Catch a glimmer while it's getting dimmer
There's a tiny ray
Different choices from an inner voice
That you want to say
Any little bit helps
And it seems like something great
It's not too late
[Verse 6]
Here's a toast that you get the most
If the heart's closed, heal and reopen
Saying hi to the by and by
If the creek don't rise
Here's to hopin'
Here's to hopin'
Here's to hopin'
