We Will Party Like There's No Tommorow
Why young lady are you singing
Everything in this world has turned upside down
Wherever I look all I see is sadness
I can't think of any reason to exhibit such cheer
Lord only knows how much we have all suffered
Lame men and women are now walking the street
Please sir do not be quick to judge
All that we have today we will share and give
Rare are the moments that we can be happy
Today let the gloom stay away from this place
Yesterday before the soldiers came we knew peace
Life has a way of taking what was given
I know these days won't soon be forgotten
Killers can't be allowed to say the final word
Enough I say why not choose to be hopeful
True what you say but it isn't easy
How will I get the pain out of my mind
Even my shouts are weak little whimpers
Realistically things they seem so bleak
Enemies are out there waiting oh what can we do
Sound the drums and ring the bells
Now we will defeat them with celebratory sounds
Open the floodgates joy will overcome them
Test your faith and let the bagpipes roar
One by one the enemy defeated
Men and women we impart them our strength
Open the gates invite them all in
Rest assured we will know how to win
Run with the wind wings of conviction
On this day this war will be won and
We will party like there is no tomorrow!
