Raise a Glass to Flyin'

Let's raise a glass to flyin'
Where the devil fears to tread
To risk the chance of dyin'
For the bright stars overhead
Let's raise a glass to free men
Though we haven't got a dime
Our ship's as fine as Eden
As to the stars we climb
Let's raise a glass to runnin'
If the rules get in our way
It's better to be flyin'
We can fight another day
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 lack
When they know a threat awaits
They've always got your back
Let's raise a glass to pilots
Who keep us in the sky
To engineers in violet
Who keep this old girl spry
Let's raise a glass to sighin'
O'er the ones we leave behind
But you know I'd be lyin'
If I said I really mind
Let's raise a glass to this ol' ship
There's no finer in the ‘Verse
She's surely worth another sip
My blessing and my curse
