New Year’s Song (In This New Year)

There’s cold in the air ‘neath a silvery moon
And the calendar says it will be New Year’s soon
Well, maybe tonight there’ll be white snow on ground
But nothing is right here without you around

Chorus:
How can we make things right
Lay our arms down in this fight
Find a way to find the way to what we share
Raise the rock and there below
Words so simple all should know
‘Peace on Earth’ my friend-not-foe
In this New Year

Two years since they came and you left for the war
Each day I awake still I’m cut to the core
We breathe through the bombfall and keep up the fight
No words midst the violence this unsilent night

Chorus:
How can we make things right
Lay our arms down in this fight
Find a way to find the way to what we share
Raise the rock and there below
Words so simple all should know
‘Peace on Earth’ my friend-not-foe
In this New Year

Oh, love of my life, will I ever gaze more
On your face so familiar, now lost in this war
Will our children’s children live on to relate
All the cost of man’s greed, all the loss borne of hate

Chorus:
How can we make things right
Lay our arms down in this fight
Find a way to find the way to what we share
Raise the rock and there below
Words so simple all should know
‘Peace on Earth’ my friend-not-foe
In this New Year
‘Peace on Earth’ my friend-not-foe
In this New Year
