The calendar is bleeding out of ink
We’re standing on the edge, we’re on the brink
Remember back in March, the moon mission flight?
The whole world watched the stars ignite
Then that viral dance from the streets of Rome
Made every kitchen feel like a disco home
We survived the heat and the digital craze
Just a blur of moments in a technicolor haze.
The clock is ticking, the ice is in the glass
Watching all the shadows of the seasons pass
Raise your hands if you made it through the fire
The energy is climbing higher and higher!
Oh-oh-oh! Goodbye twenty-twenty-five!
It was a hell of a ride, we’re lucky we’re alive!
Oh-oh-oh! Open up the golden gate
Twenty-twenty-six, we’re feeling great!
Sing it loud, let the echoes ring
Tonight we’re the queens, tonight we’re the kings!
The Summer Games brought the world to its feet
Records broken in the city heat
And that AI chef who won the Michelin star?
Yeah, we’ve come so fast and we’ve come so far
From the peace talks held on the island shore
To the fashion trends we can’t ignore
Some friends were lost and some loves were found
But the world keeps spinning ‘round and ‘round.
The clock is ticking, the ice is in the glass
Watching all the shadows of the seasons pass
Raise your hands if you made it through the fire
The energy is climbing higher and higher!
Oh-oh-oh! Goodbye twenty-twenty-five!
It was a hell of a ride, we’re lucky we’re alive!
Oh-oh-oh! Open up the golden gate
Twenty-twenty-six, we’re feeling great!
Sing it loud, let the echoes ring
Tonight we’re the queens, tonight we’re the kings!
Ten! (The memories fade)
Nine! (The plans we made)
Eight! Seven! Six! (It’s in the mix)
Five! (Feel the heartbeat)
Four! (Stomp your feet)
Three! Two! One!
ZERO!
Oh-oh-oh! Goodbye twenty-twenty-five!
It was a hell of a ride, we’re lucky we’re alive!
Oh-oh-oh! Open up the golden gate
Twenty-twenty-six, we’re feeling great!
Sing it loud, let the echoes ring
Tonight we’re the queens, tonight we’re the kings!
Welcome '26...
Yeah, we’re ready for you.
New pages, new stories.
Happy New Year!
