I love this song.  It's called "Better Days" by the Goo Goo Dolls of their Let Love In album.  It's a Christmas song without mentioning Christmas.  It a New Year's song.  But mostly it's a prayer for the future.  It was pretty popular when it came out, so you all should have heard it before.  Sing with me!!

Better Days
(written by Johnny Rzeznik)

And you asked me what I want this year
and I try to make this kind and clear:
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and desire to love and empty things
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need some place simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child who saved this world
And there's ten million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again 


Happy New Year, Everyone!  Here's to better days!

I love this song, too! Very much a Christmas song, and a better one for not being overt.
