Verse 1
Midnight rings, the year turns round,
We take a breath, we hear the sound,
We let go of the weight we knew,
And take one step towards something new.

Chorus
Hello, hello, twenty-twenty-six,
New days start with every step,
We look ahead, we learn, we try,
We lift our heads and reach the sky.

Verse 2
The streets are bright, the night feels wide,
We meet the year side by side,
Different roads all led us here,
Now we move on, calm and clear.

Verse 3
We keep the good, we drop the rest,
The past has taught us more than tests,
We’re not the same as yesterday,
We’ve grown a little on the way.

Chorus
Hello, hello, twenty-twenty-six,
We raise our voice, a simple wish,
For quieter days and steadier plans,
A kinder world in human hands.

Bridge 1
Let the fighting fade away,
Let people live in gentler ways,
No need to hurt, no need to choose sides,
Just space to live, just space for lives.

Verse 4
The clock moves on, the moment’s now,
We don’t need perfect, just somehow,
Small good choices, day by day,
Help point the future on its way.

Verse 5
We choose to live, not rush the time,
To laugh, to rest, to draw the line,
To care for now, for me and you,
And build a life that feels more true.

Chorus
Hello, hello, twenty-twenty-six,
May joy be found in simple things,
Good days ahead, good company,
All the best for you and me.

Bridge 2
When the road feels long or slow,
When change is hard and hard to show,
We keep our pace, we don’t give in,
Quiet effort still can win.

Verse 6
When fireworks fade and crowds move on,
The work of living carries on,
In how we speak, in what we do,
In choosing care the whole year through.

Verse 7
Side by side we face the days,
Not chasing shine or louder praise,
Just choosing hope again and then,
And doing what we can — as friends.

Final Chorus
Hello, hello, twenty-twenty-six,
New days start with every step,
With open eyes and open hands,
We shape tomorrow as we can,
Hello, hello, hear us say,
This is our year, this is our way,
With hope, with care, with steady ground,
We move ahead — together now.

Verse 1

The war in Europe carries on
Through summer heat and winter long
People pay the price each day
As broken lives slip fast away

Chorus 1

This is an insecure world we’re in
The ground feels thinner year by year
Too many lives are already gone
To force and fear that carry on

Verse 2

In the Middle East the fighting stops
Then starts again with falling drops
Ceasefires promised, torn apart
Civilians trapped with broken hearts

Bridge 1

So many names we never hear
So many wounds that stay unclear
No number shows what this has done
Each life was whole, then suddenly none

Verse 3

In South America fleets arrive
Warships waiting, standing by
No war declared, but forces stay
Prepared for what may come one day

Chorus 2

It’s a heavy weight the world must face
When decisions are made far away
The cost is paid in ordinary lives
That carry on through days and nights

Verse 4

Artificial Intelligence grows
Doing work we used to know
Machines replace the human hand
And change the lives we understand

Bridge 2

We give our time, we give our trust
We give away more than we must
Step by step we move along
Trying hard to stay headstrong

Verse 5

They make their money from how we act
From every click, from every track
Our habits train the systems fast
While power moves beyond our grasp

Chorus 3

This insecure world keeps moving on
As if the warning signs were gone
But every gain is paid somewhere
By someone left to carry care

Verse 6

Jobs disappear without a sound
As code replaces what we found
Some places grow, some fall behind
A deeper split divides our kind

Verse 7

In East Asia tensions rise
Close encounters test the lines
No war declared, but fear is near
As every move is watched in fear

Bridge 3

We listen close for warning signs
Between the now and fragile lines
One wrong move, one moment late
Can change the path we hope won’t take

Verse 8

In Greenland ice still shapes the land
Where people live by their own hand
Outside interest grows too fast
But choice remains with those who last

Final Outro

We hope the wars will one day end
And broken lives can start again
A life where children sleep in peace
And years like this one finally cease
