IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY

A new day has broken

So the morning breeze whispered to me

And I can see our faces beautifully brazen

More than I can see in any alley

Oh! It’s a new day

And I’m seeing all things new

Shining beyond the sun’s ray

As we join the day’s crew brightly as blue

Oh! Pals in all locales

Jump down happily from your bed

And begin to sing melodies like chorales

In tunes never in history said

Oh! Forever keep smiling

It’s a terrifically nice day

Super and marvelously blooming

Clearing life’s bushy crossway

Are we not seeing it

It’s joy everywhere I see

Anybody there to admit

I can see reflections beyond the acme

Yes! I’m seeing it

And you are seeing it

We are all seeing it

We will forever continue to see it

It’s going to be an all-through wonderful day

I can hear us saying yes to that

As we walk gingerly like on a breezeway

Encouraging one another even with just a pat

It’s the newest day

And I know you are all happy

It’s not a mere hearsay

‘Cause I can see you not blowzy

Let’s keep on pals

And make the day not a doomsday

Let’s all have decals

And begin to shout hip hip hip hurrah

AS A NEW YEAR COMES

A New Year is coming without fear

As we wait joyfully with no tear

Love’s coming to make us happier

As we aspire to become better

It’s an opportunity to live again

Even though we’ve been beaten by the rain

Another year is coming with love we cannot comprehend

However we try to apprehend

As we now begin anew

Let’s ask Him to fill us with grace like the early morning dew

That in spite of our weak will

Him, we shall serve still

We may do nothing

Just like we have not a thing

And the world may esteem us not

But happiness shall be our lot

The past is a gone history

Let’s begin to live our life’s new story

Helping one another whatever betide

Walking calmly against life’s stormy tide

Wishing you all a happy New Year

Even if you’ve got nothing new to wear

There’s hope in a future

No matter how little is our stature
