It's never too late to dance barefoot in the rain
Or jump into the sea on a night like this
Take a plane, end up under the lamp light's stain
Find some happiness along Eden Quay
So we toast and we sing and we do celebrate
The mad ones, the dreamers, the painters, the poets
All those men who set sail right into the storm
With their suitcase of memories to keep warm
The colours we painted, the books that we read
The words that we wrote, the songs that we played
All that amazes and moves us to tears
All the kisses, the smiles and the grief
The nights without sleep and the mess that we made
For our hearts can ache but our smiles won't fade
And a farewell is better than to never have met
And one day to remember than a life to forget
Cause life is grand
Yes life is grand
Even when you step into dog shite
And life's a curse
But could be worse
And we would do it all over again
Let us toast to who still does the most foolish things
And does not let regrets take the place of their dreams,
To who gets bruises, gets battered but stands up again
For living once could not be enough
To those who'd like to be somewhere else
Cause they never stop dreaming and they never stop daring
And they say things that should not be said
And made a promise that they cannot break
All the times we got caught in the rain
And we laughed at ourselves then we did it again
And the times we were late for we just didn't wake
Or we packed for a show with no shoes by mistake
Our thoughts in the morning would be turned upside down
When drinking together though a hundred miles far
And we'd search in the crowd for a gaze in the dark
To be together alone in the midst of it all
Cause life is grand
Yes life is grand
Even when you step into dog shite
And life's a curse
But could be worse
And we would do it all over again
Cause life is grand
Yes life is grand
Even when there is nowhere to turn
And life is shite
But will be alright
So just let us dance out in the rain
Cause life's unfair
Yes life is unfair
Let us dance one more time in the rain
For life's a curse
But could be worse
So I'd just do it all over again
