The years pass by so quickly
A new one has just begun.
We now begin celebrating
the year two thousand one...

May it be as good or better 
than the year that just passed by
I am sure that it will be, 
but only if we try.

Good friends to make us happy,
our families by our side,
The Lord above to help us
He will be our guide

To live our lives in hope and peace,
help others along the way.
To count our many blessings
each and every day.

To pray for peace among all mankind
in our country and all the rest
Let's begin with us and show them
let's put them to the test.

We are all created equal
this we have always known
God loves us all just the same
This, He has always shown.

Our riches come to all of us
not through money or through fame
It doesn't matter, win or lose
it's how we play the game.

So let's all make a resolution
to live our lives in peace
and let the love we show to all
never ever cease.

"Auld Lang Syne"
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
And auld lang syne? 

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne. 

And surely, ye'll be your pint stowp! 
And surely I'll be mine! 
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, 
For auld lang syne. 

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne. 

We twa hae mn about the braes 
And pou'd the gowans fine; 
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot 
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne. 

We two hae paidled i' the burn, 
Frae morning sun till dine; 
But seas between us braid hae roar'd 
Sin' auld lang syne. 

For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne. 

And here's a hand, my trusty fiere, 
And gie's a hand o' thine; 
And we'll tak' a right gude-willy waught, 
For auld lang syne. 
For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne. 

           

This song is Scottish
which I was not aware of....
This song is from Robert Burns or Robbi Burns 
if you are Scottish. He is the national bard of 
Scotland, and is celebrated every year 
throughout the country at "Burns Suppers".

This song is usually sung just after new years  when a bagpipe  player (or more commonly know as a piper)
 comes into the place of celebration be it a hall or whatever playing his bagpipes usually in full highland dress.  
He plays a traditional song  and when he finishes playing everyone joins hands in a circle, usually with the hands crossed over the chest, and they all sing Auld Lang Syne.  The Scots also have another new years tradition which 
they call first footing.   To bring good luck to the home in the coming year, the first man through the door right 
after new years strikes must be a dark haired man and he brings with him a loaf of bread so that the household 
never goes hungry, a lump of coal so it is never without fuel and a few coins  so they are never without funds.  
These are given to the householder.  This person cannot live in the house but  may be a relative.  If there is no 
relative available a friend or perhaps a" professional" firstfooter is hired.

New Years Eve is called Hogmanay in Scotland,
and is a very very special time for all Scots.
