We did it. We did it.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Vi Rose.

- Good morning, winners.

- Good morning.

Let me help you with that.

Thank you.

My head's still spinning from last night.

I just wish Bernie

could've been here to see it.

- Oh, I think Bernie was here to see it.

- Mm...

You may have noticed I don't do

particularly well with change.

That's because, in my experience, it mostly

takes a big chunk out of your behind.

But not this time.

And that's due to Randy.

I will never forget what he did for Walter.

- He's a good kid.

- Yeah.

And he didn't just lick it off the ground.

He had you.

And we owe you a lot too.

In fact, we owe you everything.

Don't make a face.

Oh. Look. Look at your daughter.

She's looking at Randy

like I look at cake.

Yeah, the kind that stays in your stomach

for nine months.

You can close your mouth, Mama.

This ain't the first time we kissed.

I see him when the children are playing

I hear him when the church bells ring

On wedding days

- I feel him when the breezes blow

- Ooh, ooh

- Adore him where the owers grow

- Ooh, ooh

We fear him when the oceans roar

- He's everything

- He's everything

He's everything

We're born, we live, we die

And life goes on

We love, we laugh, we cry

So forth, so on

- And we're a part of his creation

- Ooh, ooh

- Every person, every nation

- Ooh, ooh

- He's in every situation

- He's in every situation

Everything

He's everything

Let's lift him up

Through everything

He's loving us

Is it asking all that much

That we should do the same?

So let us sing and raise our voice

Let us make a joyful noise

- Rejoice

- Rejoice and praise his name

- Rejoice

- Rejoice

- Sing it again

- Oh, rejoice

Rejoice His joy remains

He's everything

He's everything

He's everything

He's everything

Praise his name His holy name

He's everything

He's always loving us

We should show a little love

- In everything, everything

- Everything, everything

He's the God of hope and change

He's the cure for hurt and pain

You know he loves us all the same

- 'Cause he's everything, he's everything

- Everything, everything

In everything, he plays a part

Heals and mends our broken hearts

Restores us when we fall apart

- 'Cause he's everything, he's everything

- Everything, everything

So lift him up, rejoice, rejoice

Let us sing and raise our voice

And let us make a joyful noise

He is everything
