New Beginnings

New beginnings happen more often than naught
New beginnings happen more often than naught
Although not always as easy as I would have thought
Although not always as easy as I would have thought
I would have thought that new beginnings happen
More often than naught although not as easy as always

Time to start fresh and be hopeful and bright
Time to start fresh and be hopeful and bright
Like the newest of stars on the darkest night
Like the newest of stars on the darkest night
On the darkest night the time to start fresh
Be hopeful and bright like stars of the newest

I have so much to look forward to coming up soon
I have so much to look forward to coming up soon
I’m happy and hopeful like the new crescent moon
I’m happy and hopeful like the new crescent moon
Coming up I’m hopeful and I have the new crescent moon
Like to look forward to happy so much soon

As easy as new beginnings I happen to have the thought
More often than although that would be hopeful to
I look forward to the happy crescent moon
Coming up naught and not always of the newest night
Soon I have so much time and like bright stars
The darkest fresh start I’m hopeful on like new
