[Verse]
The bottles empty left on the floor
No more shadows creeping through the door
This year’s a promise I’m holding tight
A spark of hope in the quiet night
[Verse 2]
The mirror’s clear like it’s never been
His eyes don’t hide what’s brewing within
The tides have turned the storm has passed
A sober breath can truly last
[Chorus]
Happy New Year to brighter skies
No more drowning in whispered lies
We’ll raise a glass to hope not fear
To the dad I’ve always wanted here
[Bridge]
See the sun rise through his steady hands
No more castles built on sinking sand
Every step forward leaves the ghosts behind
A life rebuilt by a stronger mind
[Verse 3]
I see him now the man he could be
Eyes shining like the calmest sea
Resolution carved in every word
His voice as light as the songs I’ve heard
[Chorus]
Happy New Year to brighter skies
No more drowning in whispered lies
We’ll raise a glass to hope not fear
To the dad I’ve always wanted here
