A special new year’s wish I want to send
I’m sitting home, still alone and there’s a chill in the air
Summer’s a memory, Autumn’s gone, the trees are bare
The first taste of snow is making itself known to me again
Year’s about over, here’s a special new year’s wish I want to send
Let there be no more days without your face
Loneliness is gone without even a trace
Let the sun shine in on a smiling, happy pair
Aging birds acting like young-ins, let ‘em stare
I’m not gonna worry about anything but you
Too many lost days, we’ve got lots to do
I’m sitting home, still alone and there’s a chill in the air
Summer’s a memory, Autumn’s gone, the trees are bare
The first taste of snow is making itself known to me again
Year’s about over, here’s a special new year’s wish I want to send
Let there be no more rockets aimed at taking innocent lives
War is over! Let the kids play, the husbands hold their wives
Each enjoying their time together, living without constant fear
No more bombing the schools, give them a reason to cheer
Power restored not only to homes but to those with better clarity
Remove the crazed Russian bear, promote peaceful prosperity
I’m sitting home, still alone and there’s a chill in the air
Summer’s a memory, Autumn’s gone, the trees are bare
The first taste of snow is making itself known to me again
Year’s about over, here’s a special new year’s wish I want to send
Let there be no more saber rattling here in our beloved states
Profits over warming, bankers are the ones controlling our fates
Burn the ozone, deplete the fish, soil the air fossil fuel emissions
We need to wake up and act now so we can improve our conditions
Left or right makes no difference when the temperatures get too high
I just want to breathe clean air and bask under a clear blue sky
I’m sitting home, still alone and there’s a chill in the air
Summer’s a memory, Autumn’s gone, the trees are bare
The first taste of snow is making itself known to me again
Year’s about over, here’s a special new year’s wish I want to send
Stop wishing for the world to change, get up and do something about it
Don’t just discuss it in hushed tones, hit the streets and go shout it
No more loneliness, my heart aches for love, oh I need it so
No more war, leave your weapons lay it’s way past time you go
No more killing Mother Earth, let’s save her and enjoy her forever
That’s my list of new year’s wishes, I think it’s my greatest endeavor
I’m sitting here and thinking of all of you reading this now
From India, to Germany, to Australia and I just think wow!
If I can get you all to join me in saving the sky, earth and fishes
If all of us found love, we stopped fighting I’d get all my wishes
Yeah the wars would finally end, people would smile and say hello
To those they passed on the street, breathing in freedom and clean air
Because no matter what country you live in, I believe you really care
Like me, you want love; like me you love peace and want war to end
I think my list mirrors yours, we all have a special new year’s wish to send
