I have one unclaimed lyric left. Fancy a go?

Hi all!
Counting the shameless uncredited thefts and ongoing behind-the-scenes collabs, I've had 15 of my 16 lyrics put to music (several more than once) this year. Not bad.
There is one hero that remains unsung, for now, and it is one of the first: Haves and Have-nots https://fawm.org/songs/125556/
Here is my open invitation for one (or more) of you to give it a crack. It's unusually approachable for one of mine: It has a steady metre, a chorus, and the trickiest word is probably 'endow'. Perfect for someone wanting to dip their toes in the well of Wordsmith. Or those desperately seeking inspiration as the final hurdle looms.
Let me know if you'd like a go. Many thanks in advance, and happy FAWMing! -

I loved these lyrics so much I had to write something https://fawm.org/songs/135190/

Has someone done “a toast”?

If you don't mind more than one person having a go at it I might give it a shot tomorrow.
I'd do it tonight but it's almost midnight here, I just finished a skull-crunching project I had to finish tonight, and I am tired. -

@coolparadiso : It's been claimed but the collaborator has not yet finished.
@tuneslayer: I don't mind either having more than one interpretation or waiting (my awkward timezone makes that a reality for most co-productions). -

Oh good i really want to hear that @stephenwordsmith that was such a cool lyric.

@stephenwordsmith I might just give it a bash. As you say, it's got a steady metre so how tough can it be? ...*hysterical laugher ensues*

@stephenwordsmith Feb 2022
@tinear: by all means, bash away, with my thanks.

@nateger : Finally got a chance to listen to the piece - amazing work, especially considering the medium. Thanks so much for fulfilling my dream!
