The song 'Happy New Year' by ABBA is about reflecting on the past year and hoping for a better future. The lyrics talk about the end of a party and feeling lost, but also about having hope and a vision for a world where everyone is friends. The song encourages people to have their own hopes and will to try, or else they might as well lay down and die. The lyrics also mention the end of a decade and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

“If” by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thought
