New Days

I see autumn clearing dead yellow leaves
And I hear the voice of a soft new breeze
Sweetly singing its new fresh tunes
Elating all those sad dry blues

These are the days for our love sake
Needed to pull the emergency brake
To save whatever was at stake
Give life a brighter shake.

These are the days where we confront disparity
Find a good balance between different equality
Rejoin together in a heart reborn
Sew together what has been torn.

These are the days where we stop eating each other
Enslaved by the thirst for money and power
Share together and genuinely appraise
Talents lost in a hopeless maze
Give new voice to mournful echoes
Flourish together as flowery meadows

These are our new ways
These are the new days
