I've seen you in the lamplight With the hard lines on your face, And the shadows of your fears upon the wall; But crying ain't no weakness, And to lose is no disgrace; You see, we're not so different after all. But can't you tell, By the ringing bell, This old year's moving on? I've just one thing to say before it's gone. May whatever house you live in Have flowers by the door, And children (kittens) in the bed to keep you warm; And may people there accept you For what you really are, And help you find some shelter from the storm. And morning rain, To ease the pain, That comes with living free; May this New Year bring you freedom peacefully. (2X) Cheerily, Charley Noble |
