At the door of the year when the past meets the future, let this moment be light for the roads we will tread; when the clock seems too fast or goes slowly within us, let our faith tell the time - there are good things ahead! Refrain: Welcome in, this New Year, welcome in, hopeful people! Make a vow, that somehow, we will all create peace! In the sun, in the snow, in each season of living, let the faces of peace show the world how it's done, when the lion and lamb both can lie down together, think of violence gone, think a gift, not a gun: Welcome in, this New Year, welcome in, hopeful people! Make a vow, that somehow we will all create peace! In the smile that we smile, in the hands held in welcome, in the catching of joy like a child's bright balloon, let the colours of peace spread as far as the rainbow arching over an earth where we all sing in tune - Welcome in, this New Year, welcome in, hopeful people! Make a vow that somehow we will all create peace!
