Lyrics New Year by Regina Spektor She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To greet the new year Remembers the kisses Remembers the laughter And all that's gone away She shuffles around Turning the lights on Goes to the kitchen Gets the champagne Opens the window And wrapped in a blanket Begins to count and wait Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one Happy New Year, happy New Year They say you can hear it Over the island Starting in Times Square and spreading throughout A roar like the ocean It comes from a distance Grows louder then turns quiet She sits in a dream Or in a memory While old conversations play in her ears Sometimes the minutes feel longer than hours Some days feel long as years She just glad she gets to be around To see another spring come to this town Happy New Year, happy New Year To you She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To say her goodbyes Thanking the old year for all it has brought her No mention of the things it took away She shuffles around Turning the lights out Closes the window Checks on the locks Folds up the blanket Empties the bottle And leaves it in the hallway dark She's just glad she gets to be around To see another spring come to this town Happy New Year, happy New Year Happy New Year, happy New Year Happy New Year, happy New Year To you Happy New Year, happy New Year Happy New Year, happy New Year Happy New Year, happy New Year to you Second Chance by Shinedown My eyes are open wide By the way I made it through the day I watch the world outside By the way I'm leaving out today I just saw Haley's comet, shooting She waved, said, "Why are you always running in place" Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere Tell my mother, tell my father I have done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Please don't cry one tear for me I'm not afraid of what I have to say This is my one and only voice So listen close it's only for today I just saw Haley's comet, she waved She waved, said, "Why are you always running in place" Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere Tell my mother, tell my father I have done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Here is my chance This is my chance Tell my mother, tell my father I have done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Troubles Of Life by Kate Ogdenski Life may be hard, and life may be cruel, But people beware, 'cause you're no fool. You make hard decisions, and have many fights, You make few wrongs, but you make more rights. Life is not easy, and it's sure not fair, But hopefully it's bearable, knowing I'm there. You have lack in your faith, and fear in your heart, Of what's been decided, and you've no part. But you're strong people, and you make your own path, Your worries will end, and you'll suffer no wrath. Your path is your own, and yours alone, You've been given a second chance, smile and bring cheer, And dance a happy dance. Changing The Past  By Donna The past is the past for a reason. That is where it is supposed to stay, But some cannot let it go. In their heads it eats away Until all their focus becomes The person they used to be, The mistakes they made in their life. Oh, if only they could see That you cannot change what happened, No matter how hard you try, No matter how much you think about it, No matter how much you cry. What happens in your lifetime Happens for reasons unknown, So you have to let the cards unfold. Let your story be shown. Don't get wrapped up in the negative. Be happy with what you have been given. Live for today not tomorrow. Get up, get out, and start living, Because the past is the past for a reason. It's been, and now it is gone, So stop trying to think of ways to fix it. It's done, it's unchangeable; move on.
