May this year be different from the last one
May a new heart grace us with its own song
May a fresh start be given everyone
May our leaders listen like the first time

And the people, may we all be open
To a better way of being human
And the top that's trying to squeeze the bottom
May you wake up and realise you're broken

We are ready, don't get me wrong
We are ready, our time has come

May the violence not end in a funeral
And the finance not hold us to ransom
May a wedding lead to a lifetime
May we all sing like it was our first time

We are ready, don't get me wrong
We are ready, our time has come
(And the best is yet to come
May the best be yet to come)

We are ready, don't get me wrong
We are ready, our time has come
And the best is yet to come, we are ready
This is our song

May the dying be given a lifeline
May a wedding lead to a lifetime
May a family broken by a hate bomb
Be a family mended forgiven and strong

May this year be different from the last one
May this year be better than the last one
May the planet be given a lifetime
May a wedding lead to a lifetime
May a family broken by a hate bomb
Be a family mended forgiven and strong
May this year be different from the last one
May this year be better than the last one
