Raise A Glass to Flyin' (Lyrics) (Patreon)

Rie sent me a LOT of lyrics for this album last month when I asked her. I decided to look over a few more before I settle on the final track list. I already hear some songs I need to re-record.

 In the meantime, I recorded a rough take of this song. I think it needs another verse. But it has a good march sound too it. Needs drums. Fortunately, it looks like I'm already $180 away from m Kickstarter goal. So I guess that album will happen. YAY!

And in all likelihood, I'll even be able to hire some musicians to give the album depth.

Raise a Glass

lyrics Rie Sheridan Rose, music Marc Gunn

[D]Let’s raise a glass to flyin’where the Devil fears to tread.To risk the chance of dyin’for the [G]bright stars over-[A]head.

Let’s raise a glass to free menThough we don’t have a dime.Our ship’s as rich as Edenas to the stars we climb.

Let’s raise a glass to tryin’when they kick you in the teeth.To getting up, not cryin’,To stand for your beliefs.

Let’s raise a glass to crewmates—Though manners they may lackWhen they know a threat awaits,they’ve always got your back.

Let’s raise a glass to sighin’o’er the ones we leave behind.But you know that I’d be lyin’if I said I really mind.

Let’s raise a glass to this ol’ shipThere’s no finer in the ‘Verse.She’s surely worth another sip—My blessing and my curse.
