A New Year is Dawning

Out of a clear blue sky
A new world is forming
Under an empty sky
On a beautiful morning

Everything grounded
Lost for words
The only thing flying now
Are angels and birds

Feathers floating down
Without sound in the morning

Feathers floating down
To the ground without warning

Feathers floating down
Like a symbol of freedom

(Lemn Sissay/Pete Moser - The Long Walk)
