Last Night

Lyrics to Auld Lang Syne Jim Scott, inspired Gerald Dillenbeck, deranged May all who venture forth today be welcome 'ere we go, And those who risk a gesture kind reap all that we would sow. For love will reach across this time disarming anger here. Let all misunderstanding rest these last hours of our fear. May all find shelter in our warmth of new friends as with old, Where errors past may be forgiv'n, bright futures swell foretold. Beyond these embers dying here to raise a flame anew Unbound by clock and climate fear, our song rings clear and true. Let tales of loss and victory inspire us all again And may bold resolve find support of healthy climate friends. Surrender final judgments here so small in vast pretext. Thus might these last nights of our fear be first lights of what's next.
