[Intro] A new year brings hope For a brand new me. Dreams that help me cope and set myself free. [Verse 1] This new year I vow to spend Being outside more, touching grass. Reaching out to a distant friend Shifting my gaze from the magic glass. [Verse 2] Scroll no more just to dull my mind Fill the boredom with things to know. To myself I will be more kind Work out more, let my fitness grow. [Chorus 1] I’ll strive for… Depth over urgency and smiles as a currency. Curiosity over control, chaos is part of the whole. Big surprises in small things Discover what each turn brings. Self-love over approval. Progress over “ideal”. [Verse 3] I’ll say “yes” more to seeing friends They’re a steady part of my life. Send more letters across all lands. Let all know that I still strive -- [Chorus 2] To finish this chapter Be a mindful adaptor Seek deep connections forever With patience as my endeavor. Set out for a new adventure Come back to my center. Let my confidence spread, Trust the unknown path ahead. [Bridge - layered voices speaking to me] Don’t be scared of what you can’t see Allow yourself to be imperfect and free Live in the present -- and the future will follow accordingly. [Chorus 1] I’ll strive for… Depth over urgency and smiles as a currency. Curiosity over control, chaos is part of the whole. Big surprises in small things Discover what each turn brings. Self-love over approval Progress over “ideal”. [Chorus 2] Strive to finish this chapter Be a mindful adaptor Seek deep connections forever With patience as my endeavor. Set out for a new adventure Come back to my center. Let my confidence spread, Trust the unknown path ahead. [Outro] I wish to live beyond a plan. Collect the moments only I can. See beauty no lens could keep, Smell and taste memories so deep. Feel feelings so strong and true -- A hundred songs could rise from you.
