Once Upon A Time, My Friend

For Auld Lang Syne, my friend
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

To the good times and to the bad times, let’s lift a cup of cheer
Knowing what we went through and boy did we ever persevere
We traveled unknown miles to and fro for love and plight
We shared tears for loved ones gone by and babies born to light

We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

We watched Mother Earth cry to us by way of quakes and floods
We planted roses and millions of trees to show our forgiveness to Her
Yet the untimely passing of lives through war cannot be replaced by trees,
But only through kindness and the power of the Prince of Peace

We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

When it is time to reflect on one’s life,
We will see what we have done
We will also see what we can do for our future little ones
And sure as the days are growing lighter now
With some snow on the ground,
Let’s toast to a new year with lots of love and friendship abound

For Auld Lang Syne, my friend
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
