Joe Purdy - New Year's Eve lyrics
[Joe Purdy - New Year's Eve lyrics]
Well, I wrote this song on New Year's Eve
Thinking of days gone by
Dreaming of all good things to come
Singing that Auld Lang Syne
And I hope this year won't be like the last
I hope that my money will hold
I hope that the days won't go by too fast
I hope that my good gal will show
And I hope I can be some use to this world
I won't be too prideful to try
Realize that sometimes it only takes one
To make a difference in another one's life
And I hope I can find the courage to speak
When there's something that needs being said
And I hope that my words
Will not tear us apart
But to bring people closer instead
And I hope all this useless killing will stop
I hope that the hatred will slow
I hope there's a calm come over the hand
Of the one's who have anger to show
And I hope that the families displaced by war
Find a country so brave and so bold
To let down their guards and open their arms
To the one's who have nowhere to go
And I hope that the
Raging flood waters subside
And it rains on dry
Mountains and fiery hillsides
That the winds of change blow
Swift through our hearts
And we'll lay down our weapons
Not fire the first shot
At the one's who march brave
On the streets arm-in-arm
And their stories be told
And their causes live on
And we'll right all our wrongs
Put an end to our war
And we'll reach for compassion till
There's bloodshed no more
And we teach every child so
They might rise above
And the power means nothing in
A world without love
Don't ya see? Don't ya see?
Don't ya see?
Thinking of days gone by
Dreaming of all good things to come
Singing that Auld Lang Syne
And I hope this year won't be like the last
I hope that my money will hold
I hope that the days won't go by too fast
I hope that my good gal will show
And I hope I can be some use to this world
I won't be too prideful to try
Realize that sometimes it only takes one
To make a difference in another one's life
And I hope I can find the courage to speak
When there's something that needs being said
And I hope that my words
Will not tear us apart
But to bring people closer instead
And I hope all this useless killing will stop
I hope that the hatred will slow
I hope there's a calm come over the hand
Of the one's who have anger to show
And I hope that the families displaced by war
Find a country so brave and so bold
To let down their guards and open their arms
To the one's who have nowhere to go
And I hope that the
Raging flood waters subside
And it rains on dry
Mountains and fiery hillsides
That the winds of change blow
Swift through our hearts
And we'll lay down our weapons
Not fire the first shot
At the one's who march brave
On the streets arm-in-arm
And their stories be told
And their causes live on
And we'll right all our wrongs
Put an end to our war
And we'll reach for compassion till
There's bloodshed no more
And we teach every child so
They might rise above
And the power means nothing in
A world without love
Don't ya see? Don't ya see?
Don't ya see?
