The new year has begun and across our great land

With confidence we begin to work our new plans

Last year was a challenge with "flat" the new aim

If your numbers were black no reason for blame

Covering the pain with a mountain of debt

Making decisions in Congress that we may soon regret

Ayn Rand is on top of the bestseller lists

While many among us warn of the abyss

There is hope for our nation that lies in our leaders

Who innovate and inspire while the economy teeters

They find a way to succeed, no hurdle too high

When someone says "can't", they reply "why" 

With companies to build, job creating machines

No time to waste, just feed them caffeine

So pick yourself up from a discouraging year

And show all around you that there is nothing to fear

Start the year right, prosperity the goal

Forge onward and upward because that's how we roll
