New year ... new challenges and opportunities. It's on us to hope for a better future – and fight for it. //Seeing is believing Truth hasn’t lost its meaning It’s possible to build something new There’s really no deception It’s a matter of perception If we believe, we can make it through// Piano/vocal recording from SHELTER ℗ 2021 Jeannie Novak Music & Lyrics © 2020 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas (4th Street Recording Studio, Santa Monica, CA) Mixing by Bobby Vickery & Matt Bishop #newyearseve #newyearsday #newyear #piano #musicvideo // SEEING IS BELIEVING © 2020 Jeannie Novak Just this past New Year's Eve We were so eager and naive Excited for the year ahead A brand-new era, so it seemed We began to scheme and dream But a line was crossed instead The new year isn't over yet We've grown weary and filled with regret It feels like a lifetime has passed us by But even though we're bruised and battered We haven't forgotten what has mattered There's still a glimmer of hope in our eyes We've been through the wringer But our faith isn't lost We believe in the future Even if peace came at a cost Seeing is believing Truth hasn't lost its meaning It's possible to build something new There's really no deception It's a matter of perception If we believe, we can make it through Believe your eyes It's not a surprise The world is about to change Someday we'll look back It was a lot to unpack This trip was long and strange Oh, watch us now Oh, watch us now Oh, open your eyes Cause seeing is believing

If you’ve ever had to say goodbye, this one’s for you.
