Here’s to the world
And everyone in it
To the ups and downs and turnarounds
To never knowing where you’ll end up
To the guessing, confessing, lying, trying
Being lost

To the lonely
To the ones wishing they weren’t alone
To the broken-hearted
Like there’s a crack in your story

To the ones who’s fairytales have turned into nightmares
Who’s heroes have turned into villains
Who no longer has their prince charming
Who has to kiss the frog

To the poet, to the singer, the dancer
The artist
Never stop being who you are

Here’s to the dreamer, the believer
The chance-taker, the heart-breaker
The unforgettable

To the boom of a drum
The rhythm of the music
Keeping tune to the beat of your heart
To the perfect lyric
Bouncing around in your head
Like your life’s story

Here’s to what you forgot
Who you’ve forgot
Who’s forgotten you
Who will never come back

To your story
All those pages unwritten
How you can fill them yourself
If you choose

Here’s to the flame
Burning bright inside you like a million suns
How it will light your way
For years to come

To the earth
To the moon
To the sun
To the stars

Here’s to…you.
