A New Year Coming - Lyrics
©2026 by Monty Harper

There’s a new year coming
Barreling down the track
There’s a new year coming
Ain’t no turning back
Don’t know our destination
But it’s far from where we’ve been
Old is out and new is in

There’s a new year coming
Gonna blow those clouds away
There’s a new year coming
Getting brighter every day
Gonna root out all the nonsense
Bringing knowledge for the win
Dark is out, and light is in

There’s a new year coming; Another trip around the sun
There’s a new year coming; This revolution has begun
Power is with the people, and the people of this time
Will rise up like a mighty wave and shine shine shine

There’s a new year coming
As certain as a dream
There’s a new year coming
For every human being
Let us value one another
Like we all are best of kin
Hate is out, and love is in

There’s a new year coming; Another trip around the sun
There’s a new year coming; This revolution has begun
There’s a new year coming; Make it a good one
There’s a new year coming; Make it a good one
There’s a new year coming; This revolution has begun
