New Year's Wish

Thank you so for the gift of time
To forget for a while the yours, the mine
We shared the music as it rose and fell
Sometimes we sang the notes so well
Thank you so for the gift of time

Thank you so for your voice and heart
Your courage to rise again, to start
Always to turn toward the sun
To share your hope when I had none
Thank you so for your voice and heart

The music of the stars has turned to light
Though eons away, they bless the night
Such soulful solace, they point the way
Always there to guide us, come what may

Troubles brew on every shore
Division, fear like ne'er before
Peace is ridiculed as make believe
We seem hell-bent on war and greed
Troubles brew on every shore

Peace will come to the humble heart
With open hands let fear depart
Nations and creeds are false divides
We share one planet, one source inside
Peace will come to the humble heart

The music of the stars has turned to light
Though eons away, they bless the night
Such soulful solace, they point the way
Always there to guide us, come what may

A New Year's wish to each and all
To find our place in the rise and fall
The song of songs is everywhere
The earth, the stars, all creatures share
A voice for peace, the hope of all
A New Year's wish to each and all
