Dreams-Happy New Year
I look up to the sky, while the sun is going down,
A flock of pelicans fly, beyond the seawall mound.
Stars peep out of the dark, from the eastern brim,
The crescent moon marks, streaks of heavenly gleam,
Dream; Dream…I Dream, of a bright new tomorrow,
Wish the New Year, brings; an end to all sorrow!
An end of all sorrow; end to all sorrow.
The track to the quaint town, is all but white,
The silhouette of a hound, eerie in starlight,
Paper lanterns dangle, from the barn door,
A string of bells jingle, reminding folklore,
Dream; Dream…I Dream, of a year of peace,
Blessings of the Supreme, grant eternal bliss,
Do grant timeless bliss; bestow eternal bliss.
A steady stream of men, walk into the inn,
Make merry till ten, and the party will begin,
To welcome the moment, with love and desire,
The town red with paint, with warmth and fire,
Dream; Dream…I Dream, May your dreams come true
Live life to the brim, there is just one life to,
There is just one life for love; just one life to,
The womenfolk arrive, at the town-square,
Children on their stride, with weary eyes glare,
At the Ferris wheel, friends going up and down,
On the snow kneels, a vividly attired clown,
Dream; Dream…I Dream, let the human race unite
Resonate as one team, no matter black or white,
No matter black or white; no matter black or white,
And then close to midnight, as the countdown starts,
Frenzy reaches a height, celebrations to mark,
When clock strike the hour, the steeple bell tolls,
Firecrackers light and flares, a thousand star showers falls,
Dream Dream…I Dream, There is a lot to cheer,
A new life to begin, with the birth of a New Year,
Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
