New Year

they found him with his open hands
he was learning to let go
he had enough but was not full
he found it hard to swallow

never say what really is on your mind
it’s really not the time and place
never face the world with an open hand

but this is a new year

he ran away to lose himself
his fists were punching in the air
his feet would take him to the edge
though he never thought they’d take him there

never turn your back on the way things are
they are what they’re supposed to be
never face the world with an open hand

but this is a new year

this is a new year
