  • Here's to the babies in a brand new world
    Here's to the beauty of the stars
    Here's to the travelers on the open road
    Here's to the dreamers in the bars

    Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
    Here's to the workers in the fields
    Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
    Here's to the drivers at the wheel

    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Now let the day begin
    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Now let the day begin, let the day begin

    Here's to the winners of the human race
    Here's to the losers in the game
    Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
    Here's to the wall that bears their names

    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Now let the day begin
    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

    Here's to the doctors and their healing work
    Here's to the loved ones in their care
    Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
    Here's to the lonely everywhere

    Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
    Here's to the lions in the cage
    Here's to the struggles of the silent war
    Here's to the closing of the age

    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Now let the day begin
    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Let the day begin

    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Let the day begin
    Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
    Now let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start Writer/s: Michael Been

  • Rezzyrezz from GermanyThis is a drop down to 5th, hit the gas and and groove into 6th, get it up to 200 on the Autobahn tune. Feel the wind in your hair and you're not driving a covertible....
  • Fred from Laurel, MdI guess when it comes to rock music, this song has it all: a simple, yet catchy, tune/chord structure; some b----in', soaring, slide guitar work; a relentless, righteous beat; and a hopeful message, with optimism for the future. Hearing it can make you young at any age. It sure caught my ear the first time I heard it. BTW, Wikipedia has the chart figures for this song as 42 ("UK"), 51 ("US"), 5 ("US Mod"), and 1 ("US Main"); i.e., it reached #1 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. That deserves a notation at the top, I believe.
  • Fred from Laurel, MdGreat song! I just re-remembered this, but why did I think it was done by Poi Dog Pondering??? Glad to have rediscovered its rightful source, but now I have to wonder, what did PDP do, at around that time, that caused me to connect this song with them? Looking at their whole discography hasn't struck any bells with me. Oh, well.
  • Jim from Long Beach, CaGreat song. The CALL were a great band that deserves more credit than it got....
  • Niles from Belpre, OhI still have the old tape cassette
    I can't let go
  • Jameson from Lexington, KyI was a weekend DJ in college, and I'd start my morning show on Sunday with this song. I had NO listeners, but I had a good time. :)
