As the countdown to
New Year's begin
New resolutions and promises 
Begin to unfold, when people
Starts out keeping their word
And gradually stop
Most of the resolutions are
Made because of alcohol and

Shackled, chained, beaten.

No tears, sun shining.
Rays of light, rays of hope.
3…2…1…



No more tears



No more…...
