OUR NEW YEAR, NEWTON USA!
A New Year is coming let's welcome it in
with hope, faith and love to no end
The past is behind now tuck it away
and only remember the happiest days
Our New Year, Newtown USA! Our New Year, Newtown USA!
Lessons the world learned by the heroes of tall and small
Their spirit, legacy of purity, innocence will forever live
A rainbow will come after many tears shed
A four-leaf clover found to be held
Our New Year, Newtown USA! Our New Year, Newtown USA!
The trees will still change colors this fall
and paint colors so brilliant as my child
My child, my blessed miracle from God
has taught us all to live in Peace and Goodwill
Our New Year, Newtown, USA! Our New Year, Newtown USA!
In the spring is new-life and blossoms will come
of lilies and summer roses of love
Winter will bring memories back
the stillness and gentleness of snow
But my heart will be warmed by healing comfort
of time and universal support of God's enduring faith
Our New Year, Newtown USA! Our New Year, Newtown USA!
