The word lyric is derived from the word lyre, a musical instrument. This is followed with music and such poems today are called songs. The poet’s own reaction makes the core of the lyric. It can be melodious and suitable for singing or it may be harsh and cacophonous, but if it communicates the feeling of the composer, it is in the realm of a lyric.
The subject matter, theme, and the central idea of any lyrical poem or song depends on the composer i.e. for which occasion he is writing a song. The New Year Lyrics of any song or a poem should convey the message of welcoming New Year and bidding goodbye to the previous year.
