Lyrics

Intro (harmonies)

Ohhh… we made it through the fire,

ohhh… now we’re standing in the light.

Verse 1

Another page is turning on this story that we write,

another calendar of midnights we survived.

There were days that felt like endings,

there were nights we couldn’t see,

but every breath that brought us here

was mercy on repeat.

Pre-Chorus

So I lay down every failure,

every “should have,” every scar,

’cause I can’t carry old regrets

into a brand new heart.

Chorus

Here’s to closing all the cycles that were only meant to teach,

here’s to opening the windows so new air can finally breathe.

As the year fades in the distance,

I’m not walking out the same—

I choose hope, I choose abundance,

I choose peace over the pain.

If tomorrow is a question,

let my answer always be:

love is still my resolution,

and new beginnings live in me.

Verse 2

I used to hold on tight to what was already gone,

trying to fix the seasons that had run their course and done.

But winter only makes more room

for flowers we can’t see yet,

and every door that closed behind me

saved me from a lesser yes.

Pre-Chorus

So I bless the roads that broke me,

and the ones that set me free,

’cause every twist and every detour

brought me closer back to me.

Chorus

Here’s to closing all the cycles

that no longer feel like home,

here’s to packing light with gratitude

for how much I have grown.

As the clock moves past the midnight,

I won’t fear what I don’t know—

I speak joy, I speak provision,

I speak health into my bones.

If the future is a canvas,

let my colors always be

hope and kindness, faith and wonder,

’cause new beginnings live in me.

Bridge (African-style call & response)

Lead:

All my love to the year that’s ending—

Choir:

We release, we release.

Lead:

All my peace to the days incoming—

Choir:

We receive, we receive.

Lead:

All my joy to the ones still healing—

Choir:

You’re not alone, you’re not alone.

Lead:

All my faith to the unknown season—

Choir:

You are home, you are home.

Final Chorus

Here’s to closing every chapter

that was written in goodbye,

here’s to turning from the ashes

into open, clearer skies.

I am done with only surviving,

I am ready now to live—

to be love, to be a blessing,

to forgive and to forgive.

If you’re listening and you’re tired,

take this line and sing with me:

“Hope is not just in the new year—

new beginnings live in me.”

Outro (harmonies)

Ohhh… all my love to what is coming,

ohhh… all my peace to what has been.
