A New Dawn

After every end, there is a beginning,

After every night, there is a new dawn,

After darkness, a beautiful morn,

Wait for the new beginning,

Wait for the blue sky after the storm.

The new year always arrives,

After the worn out old year,

Forget your anxieties and fears,

And welcome the new year

With a smile, with a mind clear.

The new dawn of the new year,

Is full of hope, full of expectation,

It is a time for celebration,

A time for joy and cheer,

It is a time for jubilation.

Leave your doubts behind,

Face the future with cheerful grace,

And confidence and strength of mind,

Never forget your indomitable spirit,

Every dawn you will need it.
