Cheer
Raise a toast
Party time’s arrived
Spring is here so don’t delay
Come one, come all – celebrate
Hope you brought your smile
You’ll need it
Now…
Dance
Move your feet
Set your spirit free
Don’t worry ‘bout your rhythm
Let your arms and hips gyrate
The trees sway in time
There you are
Move…
Sing
Choose a song
The birds will join in
Oh, that chorus will be great
Friends will hear it ringing out
They’ll know Spring is here
Deep breath now
Shout…
Stand
Spread your arms
Let Spring enfold you
Know her warmth upon your skin
Feel the winds of her embrace
Welcome Winter’s end
Raise a toast
Cheers!
