Twas The Night Before New Year's

Twas The Night Before New Year's

Twas the night before New Year's

And all across the lands,

A Miracle happened:

Everyone was shaking hands.

The fresh start about to commence.

A new slate on which to write

Voices are joined in song,

Instead of as weapons to fight.

Enemies and foes alike

allow war and hostilities to cease.

Conversations turn

to joy and peace.

Languages are many,

and traditions abound.

Friendships are forged,

and seek a common ground.

Harmony and tranquility

replace anger and fear.

Future serenity looms

and spreads throughout the new year.
