HAPPY NEW YEAR! FROM SUN, FUN… BUNGAROOSH

at

A Blessing For Our City at The New Year

Light a candle tonight
And join me on the bandstand at midnight
We’ll feel the chill of winter’s wind
And stay warm
Peer into the darkness
And meet an unexpected peace
… quiet but for the roaring sea
And the howling winds
Empty save for the spirits
… the wandering dreamers

The clock strikes midnight
Come walk with me
Give us a new page
In the history of our merry city
And bless us
Strong and weak
Young and old
Near and far
The dwellers
Sleek and meek
The street sleepers
Let’s burst open
In a shower
Of optimistic celebration
And feel the sacred kiss of hope
At the gateway of a New Year
