Out goes another decade
Dying in the last embers
As the final seconds fade
And the past slowly remembers
A new one is born to begin
Maybe better than that before
Wondering what it will bring
What secrets has it instore
A new year, for a new time
Ten years gone by too fast
Twelve bells of a clock chime
Celebrations that can never last
Let us have no wars or no pain
No problems creeping this way
No dark clouds bringing forth rain
Let there be a new beginning today

Out goes another decade
Dying in the last embers
As the final seconds fade
And the past slowly remembers
A new one is born to begin
Maybe better than that before
Wondering what it will bring
What secrets has it instore
A new year, for a new time
Ten years gone by too fast
Twelve bells of a clock chime
Celebrations that can never last
Let us have no wars or no pain
No problems creeping this way
No dark clouds bringing forth rain
Let there be a new beginning today
