We've been looking forward to a fresh start while an old year died
All the joys we keep, shadows are past, the new to come still hides.
The promise of future taken up with courage is weighed
What arrives will be welcome, hopeful and we're unafraid.
It may be a year of chances, goals you worked for so long
Listen to its melody and make of it an earwig song.
The new year we just begun with faith unquestioning
Walk through the gate, trust in your fate and accept what it will bring.
