Lyrics

This Year
words and music by Angela Sheik

This year it's going to be better,
It's going to be different,
I've got a really good feeling about it.
This year it's going to be better,
It's got so much promise.
You know, I can tell right now just by the look of it.
This year I'm going to do better.
I'm not going to wallow,
I'm not going to focus on the negative. No!
This year we're all going to conquer,
And when it's all over we're all going to say,
"That was such a good year! Oh yeah, that was such a good year."
This year I'm going to get healthy,
I'm going to go green, and I'm going to find love.
This year I'm going to break boundaries,
I'm going to set goals. I'm going to blow minds!
It certainly won't be like last year,
When the whole world went crazy,
When I didn't have money, When I hated my life.
Don't even get me started on last year!
The worst year ever. To put it bluntly, last year really sucked.
It was such a bad year. But not this year, this will be a good year.
You can tell me "Girl, you sound crazy." It won't make a difference to me,
'Cause you'll see. This will be a good year.
