It's New Year's Day
And a new year has begin
Today and we'll say goodbye to all the bad luck of 2023
And we'll be more positive as New Year has begun

And January will be
Cold and gray it and
Might snow today and
The new year has just begun
And February will be
Short and bright and there'll no place in our hearts for cruelty or greed
Empathy and kindness
For 2024

So let's pray for health and happiness
And for peace in the New Year too
And the church bells ring out at midnight and
I hope and pray all your dreams come true on New Year's Day.
