sitting alone

i sit here alone with my little girl
with my head in the clouds
and my mind in a whirl
what do i think of this new year just born
well will it be filled with love
or will there be scorn

if only we could be happy
with the little things in life
and stop being selfish
and enjoy the beauty on offer
that surrounds us each day

dear god up above will you listen to me
and grant me the wishes that i want there to be
world peace for every one
in this world of ours

so please grant the wishes i ask for so bold
and give us this new year thats just been born
filled with love for every one to have and to hold
in the palm of our hands that we offer out to you
on this bright sunny morn
