It came as something unexpected, I never planned it

But it seemed we made it happen and it didn’t happen overnight

Watched as the messages just kept coming in

More than I’d hoped and dreamed for; must’ve done something right

So raise a toast to everyone who shouted at the top of their lungs

The pals who jammed these tunes; it’s been a lot of fun

High fives and handshakes for covering all these new grounds

Felt I was lost at sea, but now I’m found

And what comes next

Is anyone’s guess but mine

But what you’ve seen

Is just the tip of the iceberg

2020 was a write-off (And the next years too)

So many plans that went up in flames but no one’s to blame

And the outlook isn’t clear going forward

So make the best of the time that’s on our plate

Just let go of what has been and could have been

No point in thinking about it, so keep your head down

Too bad the iron’s not hot, but we still made a dent

Time to fight back from being drowned out and irrelevant

And what comes next

Is anyone’s guess but mine

But what you’ve seen

Is just the tip of the iceberg

OH

BREAK IT DOWN

And what comes next

Is anyone’s guess but mine

But what you’ve seen

Is just the tip of the iceberg

And what comes next

Is anyone’s guess but mine

But what you’ve seen

Is just the tip of the iceberg
