Happy New Year
âPour me another, Â lets toast the new year
Hereâs to a better, put  fizz in our cheerâ
Tonightâs not for sorrows, nor mulling old wounds
Come banish our troubles,  lets sing some new tunes
Caught in the present is a moment to choose
To look forwards or backwards, to win or to lose
If your comfort is clinging to all that has past
This precious moment of hope will never last
Grasping  the future and its unknown way
Can bring success and many a wonderful day
The past is well trodden, we know the ending
The future is for moulding, shaping, bending
As last year expires,  hopes and promises broken
Change things this time , leave pledges unspoken
So pour me another,drink to the new year
hereâs to a better, put fizz in our cheer
If your life is a drama you can change the plot
If your friends are the  actors you can recast the lot
If people around you are holding you back
Tell them youâre changing, to a new track
Lets hold on to clichés that drive us to more
Lets venture out from  behind that closed door
We can stretch for the stars and strive for the sun
We can soar with  the wind making life more fun
You are only out of the game  when you give up the play
So write some new words so you have a new  say
Aim for something better, embrace the best
You may fall short of target  but gain from the quest
So cast off the old. Live a new dream
Grab the future foretold. Mine a new seam
So pour me another, lets toast the new year
Hereâs to a better, put fizz in our cheer
Trust that tomorrow can be better than today
Let the future  empower us with its  new way
Lets cast off from austerity, from all those extra taxes
Lets go for growth as austerity relaxes
Lets make our own minds up and set our own pace
The future is only ours, my friend, if it we embrace
Tonight is the night to reach for the new
So pour me another, lets toast the new year
Hereâs to a better, put fizz in our cheer
