The new year comes knocking
So fast and so loud
She holds to the old one
So stubborn, so proud
It begs her attention
"So shiny! So new!"
She scowls with her mouth
"As if that will do!"
"I'll cling to the old one!
I'll keep it right here!
One thing is always easier than the unknown
and that's fear!
So take away your new things
your loud 'Auld Lang Syne'
I'll be right here
I'll be perfectly fine!"
Dear Peanut, it's coming
Whether you like it or not
So unclench your fingers
There's no strength you've got
To stay mired in the past
When you could come see what's new
I promise you'll like it
We'll be waiting for you.
