who makes the flowers bloom again

in spite of her man

that this young girl decided to stay

there was a poor boy with a lyre

who says times are hard?

the flowers bloomed

the fruit got ripe

and the brother for a moment there

anybody want a drink?

and the world came back to life

woaaaaaah. yah!

up on top

we ain't got much

but we're

livin' it

livin' it up

just enough to fill our cups

livin' it up on top

brother

'cause we're

livin' it

livin' it up

let the poet

bless this round

to the patronist

of all of this

persephone

here

here

who has finally returned to us

with wine enough to share

uh huh

asking nothing in return

except we should live

and learn to live

as brothers in this life

there we go

and to trust she will provide

alright

and if no one takes too much

there will always be enough

and she will always fill our cups

i will

and we will always

raise 'em up

to the world we dream about

and

the one we live in now

'cause right now we're livin' it
