Dan Wilson, "What A Year For A New Year"

What a year for a new year
We need it like we needed life I guess
Last one left us lying in a mess
What a year for a new year

What a night for a sunrise
And we thought the dark would never end
Reaching out to try to find a friend
What a night for a sunrise
Sunrise

What a day for new day
And our star shines like a miracle
And our world is almost beautiful again
What a day for a new day
New day

What a year for a new year
What a year for a new year
What a year for a new year
What a year for a new year

What a night for a sunrise
And we thought the dark would never end
Reaching out to try to find a friend
What a night for a sunrise
Sunrise

Soon we'll be lying in our beds
And new dreams will fill our heads
And the old ones will be ended

Hope we'll forget about this place
Let it go without a trace
Wipe the teardrops from our faces

What a year for a new year
What a year, what a year for a new year
What a year for a new year
What a year for a new year
What a year for a new year
New year
New year

It's been a rough year. Instead of feeling energised about going into the new year, I'm feeling tired. Tired, but not defeated; not yet.

I'm thankful for my friends and family, the chances I've been given this year and the skills and strength I've developed for going into the next year.

I'm sad for the tragedies that have happened, both public and private. Out of the darkness comes a light; I need to believe this.

I've grown up this year. I truly believe this.
