New Day in the Morning

Everybody talks about a new day in the morning
New Day in the morning so they say
I myself don't talk about a new day in the morning
New day in the morning... that's today.

Mother Earth has completed yet another revolution around the sun
and we've probably made enough noise and have executed thousands of rituals
to mark the event.
So, in theory, today, we're back at the same spot we were a year ago.
Except that with the universe expanding,

and the glaciers melting,

and the sun cooling,

and the earth warming,

and the rivers drying up

we're not really sure where we are at all.

Lest auld aquaintaince be forgot
and never brought to mind
Let's drink a cup o' kindness yet for Auld lang Syne
For Old Times' Sake
There's a lot of doin' to be done
And that's a thought I begin the New Year with.

Peace to all ye creatures of good will .....
