The midnight bells are ringing A ship is setting sail A newborn baby's crying As lovers say farewell I'm singing hallelujah Amen, the angels say Let's hope tomorrow finds us It's new year's day Let's toast to new beginnings Raise up a glass and say For all of our tomorrows And what was yesterday I'm singing carpe diem I'm saying seize the day Come on, let's live forever It's new year's day Where does the time go Just watch the wind blow Sha la la la It's new year's day Green does the grass grow Outside my window Sha la la la It's new year's day This message in a bottle The wisdom of the wine It's just a rainy Monday This isn't Auld Lang Syne I'm singing hallelujah Amen, the angels say Let's pray tomorrow finds us It's new year's day

Every Christmas I come back to this town I come looking through some lost and found Wondering if you're still hanging around down here With the holiday lights they line these streets Where I once loved you and you once loved me I'm sorry, it just gets to me I wonder if I called up your house If your momma would let you out? Maybe, baby I'll see you this Christmas, what do you say? Or maybe, baby I"ll see you on New Year's Day I remember your eyes with the snow outside You said this place always looked a little better in white I wanna look up and see your face one more time Feels like the clock stopped ticking the day that I left I think of you and I still catch my breath I'm sorry, still get to me I wonder if you'll be going out There's only one party in this town Maybe, baby I'll see you this Christmas, I hope and pray Or maybe, baby I'll see you on New Year's Day Baby, it's so strange being back here again I keep running into all of our old friends This whole town ringing in one more year I don't wanna let this feeling disappear I pray that you might be her tonight And there you were standing, shining underneath that light Screaming at the ball on the TV counting down Streamers and papers piling up on the ground Baby, did you come here alone? Are you maybe looking for someone to kiss you? God, I've missed you Maybe, baby We didn't get Christmas but if you stay Maybe, baby We could have New Year's Day Maybe, maybe Maybe, maybe

There's a day when all hearts will be broken When a shadow will cast out the light And our eyes cry a million tears Help won't arrive There's a day when all courage collapses And our friends turn and leave us behind Creatures of darkness will triumph The sun won't rise When we've lost all hope And succumb to fear As the skies rain blood And the end draws near I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered Where the wolves and the soul-less will rise In the time of our final moments Every dream dies There's a place where our shields will lay shattered And the fears all that's left in our hearts Strength and our courage have run out We fall apart When we lose our faith And forsake our friends When the moon is gone And we reach our end I may fall There's a moment that changes a life when We do something that no one else can And the path that we've taken will lead us One final stand There's a moment we make a decision Not to cower and crash to the ground The moment we face our worst demons Our courage found When we stand with friends And we won't retreat As we stare down death Then the taste is sweet I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall I may fall I may fall I may I may fall

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near
