January Sky

The end is almost here
the last month of the year
And a time to reflect on
fond memories and tears
for all the friends that we've gained
a sense of loss remains
a trumpet blows in the distance
a simple refrain.....

though the night is almost gone
we can hold back the dawn
and pause in peace and hope
That we will still be here

as the darkness grew
beyond the solstice light broke through
with the seasons sad ending
a chance to renew
Beginnings lead with end
Tonight were all with friends
Let us pause in this moment
As we try to suspend

though the night is almost gone
we can hold back the dawn
and pause in peace and hope
That we will still be here
once the morning arrives
we can open up our eyes
we can open our hearts
With a song for this January sky
