May the sunlight always shimmer
Upon every route you choose
May your burdens be much dimmer
Than the joys life shall infuse
May you look toward each tomorrow
As the date your dreams appear
Thankful for the time you borrow
In each day of the New Year.

May the gloried springtime splendor
Bring about ne'er ending glee
May good tidings always render
Peace for everyone to see
May the kindness of a stranger
Through his righteousness, sincere
Never be a sense endangered
In each day of the New Year.

May the beauty of the blessings
That are found upon the coast
Leave your heart and soul confessing
All the things that matter most
This shall be my declaration
For you all, my friends, revered
May you find cause for elation
In each day of the New Year.
