Arco Happy New Year
january sky like a slate wiped clean
and stillness of air where nothing has been
wait for your word as if to say
another last chance lives from today
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
day into night, night into day
holding on tight, millions all hoping
something like love will light up the way
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
summer will come and be over too fast
grow into sun, fade into rain
a miniature life to live over again
happy new year - the world just keeps going
tumbling round, screaming through space
holding on tight, millions all hoping
something like love will light up their face
happy new year to everyone hurting
praying this time it all becomes clear
here when the light is pale and uncertain
happy new year
happy new year
