This song was written for and dedicated to three friends who went through more than their share of trials in 2021.

lyrics

January comes with every promise
Springtime paints pink blossoms and blue rain
Marching forward happy little soldiers
Maytime we can’t find the words to say

When every morning comes your heart keeps breaking
When every evening falls you feel the same
For every time you’re wishing for just half a chance
I see you there

Summer comes around to mark the closing
Sometimes feels like February rain
Autumn leaves us blowing on the embers
Winter time refocuses the pain

When every morning comes your heart keeps breaking
When every evening falls you feel the same
For every time you’re wishing for just half a chance
I see you there

I have had enough of acceptance
If God above would sit up and listen
Maybe he would stage that intervention
Maybe I would forgive everything

January just around the corner
Everything still feels like yesterday
Time is in the telling and remembering
Celebrate beginnings not rue ends
Celebrate beginnings not rue ends
