Should old lessons be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should what we’ve learned be ignored?
In favor of Auld Lang Syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We’ll record it all for posterity,
The days of auld lang syne.
Society has come so far,
Reached so many dreams,
But we’ve also lost so many dear,
since the days of auld lang syne.
We’ll raise a cup of kindness yet,
in the name of Auld Lang Syne.
