Ten Years of the 21st Century

A simple song, written at the stroke of midnight GMT on New Year’s Eve 2010. It wasn’t meant to be depressing, though it’s certainly not a cheery festive little number…

I say goodbye

To two thousand nine

And twenty ten

Is coming in with a full, blue moon

So that was then

And this is now

And there were times

I wondered how I would get through

Ten Years of the 21st Century

It wasn’t all it was meant to be

Long years of war

Ending in poverty, that was

Ten Years of the 21st Century

So I say hello

To twenty ten

It couldn’t be

That bad once again

And this year’s coming

It’s gonna be new

The moon is full

It’s also blue

Ten Years of the 21st Century

It wasn’t all it was meant to be

Long years of war

Ending in poverty, that was

Ten Years of the 21st Century
