This year
I'm not looking back to who I was
Because I'm gonna be someone
I've never been
This year
I'm not focused on the cracks in the walls
Not keeping track of all the times I fall
This year
So long to last year
It's all becoming so clear
There is no use living in regret
Let's fight the good fight
Train our eyes to find the light
And make this year the best one yet!
Starting right here
Happy New Year!
This year
I can't wait to see what good will come
To feel alive instead of feeling numb
This year
I plan on thinking less of "I" and "me"
I resolve to think of "us" and "we"
This year
So long to last year
It's all becoming so clear
There is no use living in regret
Let's fight the good fight
Train our eyes to find the light
And make this year the best one yet!
Starting right here
Happy New Year!
So long to last year
It's all becoming so clear
There is no use living in regret
Let's fight the good fight
Train our eyes to find the light
And make this year the best one yet!
Starting right here
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
