Midnight

In our village the clock struck twelve
but nobody hugged except safe friends
How sad to feel the loss of big love
Caught in our own bubbles of pain
Happy new year we did not sing auld
lang sang the forgiveness song
for the new year we will all join
cross hands first and then join
the blessing song from old world
the song that says we will renew
the vow to forgive and forget
for the new year is a new beginning
