CHORUS:
There’s a new year coming, it’s a new year.* **
I’ll try a little harder for the new year.
I’ve come to this conclusion, I’ve made a resolution,
To try a little harder for me.
VERSE 1:
I don’t quite under stand what it means when they say,
A new year’s coming on New Year’s Day.
But I get the feeling that it’s really good.
It’s time to plan, yes I think I should.
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
I want to be nice to my family,
Even though it’s not always easy for me.
I want to get along with my friends at school.
I’ll try to follow all the rules.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
I’ll listen hard to what the teachers say.
Do my best most every day.
I’ll be proud of myself, do the things I plan.
It feel’s so good to do the best I can.
CHORUS
TAG: Yes I’ll try a little harder,
Feels so good to try a little harder for me.
*Alternate words for January:
It’s a new year now, yes it’s a new year.
** Alternate words for new school year:
It’s a new school year, yes it’s a new year.
