Auld Lang Syne
We remember the song Auld Lang Syne
This closes the year we are to leave behind
12 months have come and we are alive
Wondering how we ever survived
We grew this year and we learned some things
We learned what understanding and compassion brings
Forgiveness we may not yet allow
Time will tell us when and how
The tragic event that we still endure
Is cradled in love so fine and so pure
Some days a memory brings tears to our eyes
The question still unanswered is we don't know why
On New Year's Eve when the ball comes down
How many of us will still wear a frown
What will the New Year bring to our life
Will it bring an end to our pain and our strife
These are things I have no answer for
We have survived 12 months once more
So as the song is played one more time
Remember the words of Auld Lang Syne
