Happy New Year

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue

It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I
Sometimes I see
How the Brave New World arrives
And I see how it thrives

In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks you'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
