This is it, to the best of my ear:
I am young but I remember,
it was not so long ago.
In a land so bright and shining,
this is how this story goes.
In the kingdom there was chaos
and the land was filled with fear.
There was hatred, there was envy
inbetween the rich and poor.
Oh, the water's rising,
how will we get to the other shore?
Many hearts are broken,
But we ain't got so far to go.
No, we ain't got far to go.
In a den of prostitution,
to a girl both frail and weak,
a child was born who had no father,
so she left it on the street.
But the child was raised by strangers,
who loved and fed and taught him well.
And when he saw the land in darkness,
something changed ...

Things to look forward to in 2005:
Visits from English friends (with the dollar swirling the bowl, it's cheap to visit the US from the UK)
Sex (unless the Repubs outlaw it, of course, and even then, it would just be all the hotter anyway)
My birthday (I know, it's in every year, not just 2005, but work with me here. I'm trying to be positive.)
Elvis Costello at the Michigan (not a sure thing, but that ohsocute Robin ignited my imagination with the idea)
I'm sure there are more. There must be. I hope.
