Let us make a toast, an ode to those who create
Raise your glass to the painters who paint
Cue your applause for the musicians who play
A round of cheers to the writers who write
Here's to all the singers who sing
We would be remiss not to thank the composers who compose

So here in this toast that we compose
We're here to give thanks to the ones who create
This will be a song of gratitude that we sing
A resplendent picture that we shall paint
We'll recite the countless stories that you write
All this to honor those who make our minds come out to play

Listen to the sounds of the great musicians play
Such beautiful songs that they compose
Listen to the message in the lyrics that they write
So many sonic masterpieces they create
Such vivid scenes in your brain they paint
Evoking deep emotions with every word that they sing

A song for the painters we also sing
The ones who put the brush and color to play
No limit but the canvas upon which they paint
Infinite worlds of imagination they compose
Scenes of peace and serenity they create
Their pictures worth the thousand words which we write

Let us not forget the ones who write
Without whom we wouldn't have this song to sing
The pages are the landscape where they choose to create
The stories are where all the words go to play
Myriads of written melodies they masterfully compose
In a world where the page is the canvas and the ink is the paint

So let us give thanks to the artists who paint
Let us give thanks to the artists who write
Let us give thanks to the artists who compose
Let us give thanks to the artists who sing
Let us give thanks to the artists who play
Let us give thanks to the artists who create

So whether you paint, or whether you sing
Whether you compose or whether you play
Or whether you write, whatever you do, continue to create!
