A New Year With Old Scars
It's here the widow says
After her long wait
Her heart is filled with joy
Yet she cannot help buy cry
She wishes he's beside her
She wishes her husband was alive
To see the sun shine again
And watch the moon turn new
It's here the orphan says
After the struggles encountered
His heart is filled with peace
Yet a part of him is broken to pieces
He prayed to see this new day
but hoped he could visit the old
He wishes he could see his father
He has missed his mother's embrace
It's here the poor man says
After the long days of little
He praises God for seeing this day
Yet he blames God for his misfortune
He wasn't brave enough to curse God and die
For his only treasure is his precious life
Its a new calendar with old debts to pay
He wishes he could be rich someday
It's here the broken hearted lover says
After much days of pains
After much time spent
Attending to wounds unhealed
It's a new year with old feelings
Like a new blessings with an old curse
He wishes she was here with him
To mend the heart she broke
Like new wine in an old jar
Like new thoughts in an old mind
Pleasing present with hurting past
Like new tears from an old watery eyes
It's a new year with old debts to pay
It's a new year with old taunting scars
It's a new year without a special friend
It's a new year without our loved ones
