Today I'm like a leaf in autumn never again to know the spring
Today my heart is at rock bottom
sorrow nothing else could bring
But the words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
You left me and what could I say for my world ended today
[ steel ]
All the words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
I'm lost I'll never find my way for my world ended today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today
I’ll be a dandy, and I’ll be a rover
You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I’ll feast at your table, I’ll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today
I can’t be contented with yesterday’s glory
I can’t live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I’ll laugh and I’ll cry and I’ll sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
‘Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Good night [3x]
McCain
McCain was my name
God is now alive in the world today
God it's so hard
God is still alive
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Today I'm like a leaf in autumn never again to know the spring
Today my heart is at rock bottom sorrow nothing else could bring
But those words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
You left me and what could I say for my world ended today
[ steel ]
I turned and gazed into the darkness but no tomorrow could I see
And I remember your remarques I recall our used to be
I have a treasure yesterday something you can't take away
I'm lost I'll never find my way for my world ended today
[ fiddle ]
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Then I'll forget all the joy that is mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine, today
I can't be contended with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
Na na na.
Hoooooooooooh-oooooooooh-ooooooooh, no no no
Yeah.. uhh, uhh
I done been in this game for years, it made me an animal
I learned that nobody else can be held accountable
but you for your career, not your manager, face it
Even he can fuck up a relationship
I learned it don't matter who's spittin better
While these rappers kill each other, them Jews they stick together
like glue; and generate more money than FUBU
For somethin made 'for you by you'
Every hip-hop nigga listen and wishin he had your style
to go against you if you rip him and pass him by (yeah)
A mastermind is somebody who's actually kind
to everybody, and try to see every autograph is signed
The humblest way to look at your career
is every nigga in here is one hit away
Yeah, whatever goes around in rap
happens to not come back to me, and I ask you
(If I was to die today
Wouuuuuld you pick me up because I'm down and out, na na na)
"T" - represents the 'time' when my hope, fades
"O" - is just a sign 'on' my mind on my broke, days
(Hoooooooooooh-oooooooooh-ooooooooh)
"D" - is for the 'dangerous' way that the flow, stray
"A" - represents the, 'answer' to the question I'm askin (no no no)
"Y" is it today I should (DIE!)
Damn, right after one quick summer
Am I Young MC or a one-hit wonder?
Is it a following that supports me
BET, MTV, or "E! True Hollywood Story"?
Can I hold my own
and rap without havin to go back to Pharrell or Poke & Tone?
Can a married man still appeal to broads
knowin everything he's spittin from here on in gon' be raw?
Can a nigga simply spit that real shit
just for niggaz that feel me, or will the system kill me? (uhh)
If I drop this album and it sells
and the next one don't top it, will it be considered a failure?
If I had to drop outta the limelight for a while
Would you still mob me? Hell naw!
You would not give a fuck about me
If I worked a regular job, I don't even gotta ask y'all
We just wanna see you survive
Anytime you wanna talk, maybe either one of y'all
Wanna give a holla this way (yeah)
Every lady involved, is rootin for the underdog
You don't let him die today, no!
Oh no - we ain't tryin to see
You go - I want you here beside me
I don't want it to change - don't DIE!
Now as far as my weaknesses
I have a hard time competin the chart and on SoundScan
The media base, I respect Dre for teachin me that
Money is easy to make, but hard to keep
As far as my nigga 'Los, I love him
He showed me you can do a dope album with no budget
Yeah, with lethal rhymes - they get that
he brought you into the game, he can take you out outta people's minds
Yeah (DIE!) Those who feel my career will die
Those who choose to leave me behind
Are confused cause they don't hear me cry; rather ya ears
is ready or not, I know you can hear me now like Mary J. Blige
I will take the shit
I will burn yo' bridges and I ain't talkin 'bout our relationship
What goes around comes around with every person
Rather it's life or rap whatever, "Death Is Certain"
Hoooooooooooh-oooooooooh-ooooooooh
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine

Central park looks like a graveyard
It never rained like that before
I took the ferry to new jersey
Never coming back no more
In my hand I hold a ticket
Statue points up to the clouds
Now I'm leaving new york city
I can hear the seagulls cries
Whenever I saw you, it felt like the first time
Whenever I kissed you, just like the furst time
Whenever I hold you it was never the same
And I thought that the last time
Would never come
Today
Autumn's sun burns down on berlin
A turkish bride just passes by
Someone plans a revolution
Little kites dance in the sky
I will always hear your heartbeat
I will always think of you
Laughter's ringing from the playgrounds
As I watch the children play
Ain't no doubt
Whenever I saw you, it felt like the first time
Whenever I kissed you, just like the furst time
Whenever I hold you it was never the same
And I thought that the last time
Would never come
Today
Here comes the rain
Right now!
Everybody wanna be like You they want power and grace like You but
See there is no God like our God there's no one like You
Who gave their life like You and who paid our price like You see
There's only one God that's our God there's no one like You
Who can touch like You or heal us like You do
We stumble and we stray still You always get us through
Who make all things new and comes to our rescue
Death hell and the grave they could not concur You
Became just like me to unlock and set free
This prison that was deep
Rewarded and redeemed the me I could not see
Chorus
Some may worship things but what joy do they bring
They try to hide mistakes but can they set us free
See where would we without Calvary
A king upon a tree so the whole world can see
You became just like me to unlock and set free
This prison that was deep
Rewarded and redeemed the me I could not see
Chorus
Healer Father Savior
Counselor Friend Provider
Wasn't sad forever
That's why I just want to be where You are
I'll travel life with You no matter how far
Repeat
Hey hey hey....Repeat
Became just like me...etc
Everybody wanna be like...etc
Isolation
When you leave it's like I disappear
Desolation
Everytime you go it feels like
Seconds slowly turn to minutes
A month of Sundays coming up
Time again it pulls me under
Wonder if I'll ever rise above
It's too much but not enough
Misery loves company
For a little bit of sympathy
It's here today
but it's gone tomorrow
It's hear today
and today will never come again
Desperation
Sinking into somewhere dark and cold
Deviation
A place I knew I did not want to go
To forget is all I know
Minutes slowly turn to hours
Another moment passes by
Seconds of eternity
Let's give a little more to the earth today
Forget them politicians today
Put down your weapons of war today
Let's just love, let's just love, everyone love, everyone love
Today
Today
Today
Tomorrow will never come
Tomorrow is never here
So don't you put off what we can do right now
'Cause tomorrow will never appear
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Will never appear
Today
Today
Today
Who will forget the value of money today
Remember what life is worth
Is this the human race
Put all material wants behind today
Let's just seek to be spiritually divine
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
So don't you take the negative they're sending
Never you pat from this positive something
Share the joy my love is giving
So sweet divine in tune with mine, life worth living
Today

Verse 1:
I don't wanna waste a second,
I don't wanna waste a moment.
I don't wanna live my life in chains.
Verse 2:
I am here to make You famous,
And tell the world You came to save us.
I am here to make a change today
Pre-chorus:
For the sake of this generation,
I live for You.
For the hope of the world’s salvation,
I live for You
Chorus:
Today, I'm living for You,
Today, my heart beats for You.
Today, I'm following You Lord,
Today, I standing for You,
Today, I'm looking to You.
Today, I'm following You Lord,
Bridge:
I live, all for the glory of Your name,
I live, to see this generation saved.
I live, to see Your love abound in all the earth.
You were mine for so long and your love was so strong
And today I hear the church bells ringing but they don't ring for me
I was yours that was true
All my love was for you
And today I hear the coir singing but they don't sing for me
I see your face, your lovely face as you pass me by
Don't look away, you can look at me
You will never see me cry
In my dreams, I could say, "Lie today, you and me"
And today I hear your lovely voice, as you say, "Yes, I will"
Don't look back at a broken heart
I still hear you say, "It was alright that we broke apart"
Do you feel the same today?
But today I hear your lovely voice, as you say, "Yes, I will"
As you expect here as the keys
So come and go as you please
Wath's mine seems to be yours
Welcome to my drawers
Today I heard them say a funny thing
They were happy you were clean
You were headed for success
In the mountains of excess
Today you fail them
Tomorrow more
Maybe i'll lend you some more cash
Don't have to play it back
I can depend on you
Dependent on everyone
Why am I guilty of my bending back
Over to breaking
The object of some desire
Too late too late
Today i'm saving you
I must have finished my last care
With that beer
With some ideal I might win
While losing
That's some mentality I have
To finish talking
I'm finished talking
Today I heard a funny thing
Tey were happy you were clean
And you won't be looking back
Good morning, my faint heart
Here comes the caffeine injection
Get off to a flying start
Letç£ face it, retrace it
Put my words into action
Cause itç£ time to play my part
Right the wrong
Donç£ play along
With everyone
Cause today belongs to me
Hey small life, Iç£ waiting
And tired of hesitating
So give me an overdose
Of good luck cause Iç£ stuck
Between boredom and hating
I know how the true story goes
Right or wrong
Donç£ sing my song
For everyone
Cause today itç£ just for me
Somehow
Today went so softly, just faded away.
Like the rain in the springtime.
On that day, I met you. I met you, when I met you.
Today went so quietly, I turned and it was gone.
Like you, like me, it was lonely.
It went on, it went on, it went on, it went on.
Then a beautiful thing happened, and we were one.
And all the world was a beautiful face to be lost in.
Today went so quickly, just a moment in time.
Like the hours in springtime.
When you were mine, you were mine, you were mine, you
were mine.
Then a beautiful thing happened, and we were one.
And all the world was a beautiful face to be lost in.
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
Today he told he that he loved her
Put a ring around her finger
And promised her forever, together
Today, she smiled for all the pictures
And he was right there with her
Making all the memories without me
And it hurts to say this out loud
Looks like she's really gone now
Today is the happiest day of her life
I should be happy for her today
So tell me why are these tears in my eyes?
I know I should be happy for her
But I've lost everything
I've lost everything I've ever wanted today
Today I thought about the moment
I could have said I loved her
And promised her forever, together
Today, today it really hit me
That she don't really miss me
She's found a new beginning
And I'm wishing
I had one more chance
God knows it's too late for that
Today is the happiest day of her life
I should be happy for her today
So tell me why are these tears in my eyes?
I know I should be happy for her
But I've lost everything
I've lost everything I've ever wanted today
Today is the happiest day of her life
I should be happy for her
But I've lost everything
I've lost everything I've ever wanted
Today he told he that he loved her
Well they come from miles around
Just to listen to the sound
On a train and getting close
Caravan from coast to coast
And she hears a little voice
Gettin drunk and makin noise
And the band has come to play
Gone tomorrow, here today
When the day comes to an end
On the tracks up around the bend
Today
[Solo]
People ask and you'll receive
Just don't ask to ever leave
'Cause this day comes once a year
And today it seems so clear
When the day comes to an end
On the tracks up around the bend
The tradition carries on
As the train drives through the dawn
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out

Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known

That I have ever really known
Into the traffic changing,
a good friend I have had.
Today, today his leaving
makes me sad.
My friend is starting over.
There is a trembling.
Today, today is trembling
through the trees.
If you see him there on your street
will you smile or shake his hand?
Today, today,
Today
I will hear his voice
Today
Do not harden our hearts
Today
We are living this choice now
Fall at his feet and believe
Fall at his feet and believe
Today
I will hear his voice
Today
Do not harden our hearts
Today
We are living this choice now
Fall at his feet and believe
Fall at his feet and believe
Slaves are falling away
Sons are holding on yeah
Slaves are falling away
Today, I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today, I know what I wanna do, but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same

Please, please listen to me

Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
Who will keep me warm, now he's away?
'Cause I have torn about everyone
Who reached out for me
I am sorry I have left you, a broken man
But if I had a heart I'd cry out loud but I cant
Baby don't you walk away
I have been so alone
Lighten up my night and day
Here comes the sun today
there will be no remorse at all,
Come what may
Find us a very crowded place to stay
We'll be making out on the dance floor
Have sex, do some drugs yeah lets rock n roll
Today heeey ey
Today heee hey
Today!
Tell me where and when
We'll meet again
Cause I just begin to long for you
And the flesh you wear
And everything will happen
if you only give me the word
cover up my eyes because the sun is
shining too bright
Today there will be no remorse at all
Come what may
Find us a very crowded place to stay
We'll be making out on the dance floor
Have sex, do some drugs yeah lets rock n roll
Today heeey ey
Today heee hey
Today!
Today I lock my fears away
Turn the key and throw it away
And leave the badness behind
And start again
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
No more worries I can't face
I know there's nothing stacked so high
I can't see the light from behind
And clear the way
Today I get to make it new
Today I'm free, free to choose
Today I get to start anew
[Chorus:]
I will change the world today
I don't care what the people say
There's a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebell I kill the devil
I was so close to resigning
Saying fuck the world and just move to an island
All of these people seek dem neon enlightments
We are blinded
World leaders too money minded
(But then)
Music is my mission and jah works my assignement
I come from Iceland, Freetown salon, land of diamonds
We're pushing stones bigger than a girl in the 9th month
See Americans ah turn the world in a timebomb
We ain't got no hoods, we have real slums
Where ten year olds have you leaving
On two hands with two stumps
And no clothes and no funds
I was deep down in a hole giving up my life once
So insecure I couldn't even see the sky once
So my energy would grow out of silence
“how you gonna change the world?”-
I will change it with my hands
We haffi response before the rivers run dry
And the stars fall from the sky these days
Love is just a word but I will try and…
[Chorus:]
I will change the world today
I don't care what the people say
There's a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebel I kill the devil
I will change the world today
I'm gonna pave the way
For a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebel I kill the devil
I failed, I lied, betrayed, got played
Was scared, was blind, not straight, had hate
Gone astray, was lost, was vain, loved fame
But my strength of today lays in yesterday's pain
I stole, was sold, was bold, I chilled
I killed, I fell, I rose, you know
I've lost a fight before
But I won't lose the war
[Chorus]
This ain't about the bad ones
It's about the one who no care
Who's too fat to be bothered
Too lazy and scared
To whom changing this world
Would mean send his world to hell
And destroy an illusion
That served him so well
Good things never come easy
Start with reflection of self
To some this might sound cheesy
But the truth afi tell
Some caught up in survival
Think it's them that need help
You never know that material
Could never be wealth
People always on a search tryna find that one (one)
But it's funny how they may not recognize it when it finally comes
(think it's) think it's at the mall
(or it's) or it's sippin' at the bar
All these dates and phone conversations we doing it all for what
When your Mrs. Right it's always Mrs. Wrong (Mrs. Wrong)
But I never stop to notice you where there all along (yeah)
Girl you're everything I could ever want and need
Now it's all clear to me and that's why
Today I've made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance, bet my life on this
Cause this precious love I've found in you
My yesterday's are gone and tomorrow's never promised to no one
I finally decided girl that my today is you
Now that I'm about to put myself (self) out on a limb for love that means (no more) no more at
the club (tryna) pick something up
No more late night creepin' holler'n trying to see what's good for the night
I wanna be the best man for you (so)
If I gotta change my ways then baby I'll do
(whatever) whatever I got to keep you here by my side and starting with today
Today I've made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance, bet my life on this
Cause this precious love I've found in you
My yesterday's are gone and tomorrow's never promised to no one
I finally decided girl that my today is you
It took me a while (said it kinda took me a while)
To realize just how much (how much you really)
Really mean to me though what we have is so clear anyone can see
But I was just (tryna keep it on the low)
But I wasn't ready for love (I wasn't sure but now I know)
Now I believe that you and I were meant to be and that's why
Today I've made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance, bet my life on this
Cause this precious love I've found in you
My yesterday's are gone and tomorrow's never promised to no one
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
Woke up this morning at the end of another bottle I don’t know what’s really going on
My hands are shaking my heads reminding me that last night I must of have had some fun
I've been here so many times you get used to the pain
But I don’t want to play these self destructive games, once again I will say
Today will be the day
Today I'm gonna change
Locked inside another damn day wonderin' just how I’m gonna turn my life around
Throw me a rope somethin’ to save me cause I’m sailing on a ship that’s goin' down
So lift me off my feet and hang me up to dry (whoa-a-o)
Nothing around the clock but I’ll give it one more try
Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day that I’ll give it up;
I’ll just give in, and let a brand new life begin
It’s getting late and I see the lines there, I’ll be tempted once again
Shining bright like a thousand little lights
All just beggin' me to come on in for one It’s not gonna kill me
Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day
And today
I will kill myself
And today
My heart will stop running
And today
I will leave the world behind me
And today
I will lose you forever
And today, yeah
Oh today, yeah
Oh, today the world is mine
Mother hold me
Hold me tight
It's all here
Today is the only day
The old times make way for the new
Some fruit punch
Spills on a tablecloth
But there ain't no mess to clean up
Garbage in a can sticks together
The tiniest of things are forever
Drop a couple coins and a feather
And watch them float away at the same time
Song is made with sugar and lemonade
Sing on the porch, swing along
Me and you having a barbecue
Sticking our thumbs in the air
Meeting of some notes on a pocket
Sitting in the sun with some chocolate
Drop a couple pens and some pencils
I have an injury
It's there for all to see
They pay to watch as the blood pours out
And it's my priviledge
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Of losing my mind
The fasination lives
Inside the world that spins
Around the scene of the accident
And they're most interested
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
Of losing your mind
Of losing your mind
When I walk along the street
I see you all who know your sanity
Is hanging by a thread
I went to church today
To pray it all away
I watched the meek pass the hat around
But I'd already paid
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah i'm in danger
Of losing my mind
Of losing my mind
Losing my mind
Today I feel surrounded
Today I am connected
Today I am a part of something more
As if every cell were singing
Still, I can't embrace it
Every silver lining has a cloud
But not so far
I keep waiting for the shoe to drop
Waiting for the axe to fall
And it will happen
This I know
Just not so far
Today I feel like dancing
I never fell like dancing
It's like even the weather suits my mood
My entire soul is ringing
Still, I can't accept it
I keep looking for the thing to bring me down
Though I can't explain my reasons to you
today i thought that i could spend
the day inside my head
away from all that you have sent
escape for my defense
awake to see me standing there
designed for all of time
you could't wait to take out all your share
and stray out of line
i'm leaving you now to get out of violence
it's getting me down to live here in silence
i keep up the pace, get out of the action
i'm hiding away from all the distraction
today i thought i would escape
away from all restraint
it's no t too late thought the wires never break
but the reign will still remain
i'm leaving you now to get out of violence
it's getting me down to live here in silence
i keep up the pace, get out of the action
i'm hideing away from all the distraction
Wake up see the sun,
What's done is done.
Today.
Last thing I remember,
I don't know.
I want her,
I don't want her.
I need her.
I don't need her.
It is the sweetest thing to know that
To know it is right
And what a sight
To step ahead and see the Son, nowâ¦
Not a cloud in mind
Or waiting on time
I've emptied my hands
And now I can, I can receive
The most amazing things seem to follow
The darkest of nights
And what a sight
I am saved from the deepest of graves, nowâ¦
Not a cloud in mind
Or waiting on time
I've emptied my hands
And now I can, I can receive
Today
May be the most beautiful day
I don't sing alone
And the angels sayâ¦
Today
May be the most wonderful day
I don't sing alone
(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's grief
Numbers, colours to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream aw
Today Today
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice the sermon pleads
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I'd read
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Belle Malissima
Today Toda
It's a dream away
Today Today
Shoelaces untied
You can dry your eyes
Perfect shadows alive
Behind us
This is the day i make you mine
The way your hair lies
sometimes unrecognized
All the way from these today
on a train
Nothing to say if theres still time
But you are the one
I've been wating for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today
Lately i've lost my tongue
Today you found the sun
I know not long has grown
Well i thank god u came along
But you are the one
I've been waitng for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today
You looked right through me
When there was no one else
I am Side beside you and became myself
Today... today
You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun t
It started with one look kept on getting stronger
What I've been holding back won't be held back any longer
Let me say to you what my heart's been longing to
Every night I've dreamed about you every day tried to make it come true
Every star shining up in heaven reminds me of you
Every road I've ever taken every choice I've ever made
Has lead me right here to you Today
I been afraid to tell you didn't know how you'd react
With all this love I have to give couldn't go on feeling like that
Now my silence is broken and it's left my heart wide open
Every night I've dreamed about you...
No nothing's in my way no more running no more hiding no I'm not afraid
Wise at times, but usually not when it's needed
From the start; a line that sees light in my head
For the sake of climbing the hills that are highest
Conversate to prove to the world; "I'm not dead!"
Travelling, a search for something without candles
Your sharpened eyes, can see all which you are not telling
I fear your words, a line that was spelled to the senseless,
Not for me; just for another face that you're selling...
And it's coming out today
He's coming out today
She's coming out today
You're coming out today
Today...
Reflecting; the past in a time that is present
Wonderful and shimmering under your skin
Feel the heat, melting your growing cancer
It's all here in a box that is ready to begin
I'm in ice, but you can't see me in darkness
It's still cold, the walls are troubled but thin
Nothing's left to live for if you are not living
Sirens sounding out, are we going to war
A film of yesterday on a broken down door
Send me something real to ignore or explore
And I'll show you all the things that I saw
Today
The words don't mean enough for us to say
For us to say
Today
To steal the moment that we gave away
We gave away
Gave it away
Can't remember when, but it's happened before
Saw it all played out through a crack in the door
Send me something good for the way that I feel
And I'll show you all the things that I've seen
Today
The words don't mean enough for us to say
For us to say
today
To steal the moment that we gave away
We gave away
Today
We are the light that travels into space
Into space
We are the light that travels into space
We are the light that travels into space
We are the light that travels into space
We are the light that travels into space
Today the grass is greener
Than I have ever seen
Today the sky is bluer
Than it has ever been
And today my heart is beating
Like I've never felt it beat
And today flowers are growing
From the ground beneath my feet
Today my hope is stronger
Ans the vision's clearer
To walk in love eternal
The path that takes me nearer
And to You the music's playing
Like it has never done
And to You my feet are dancing
Underneath the sun
In You I live
In You I live
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
I can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out, yeah
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
I never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Are bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I can't remember why my memories fade
Covered by the past that my history's made
Yesterday and everything in between
Has got me thinking about tonight and everything that i've seen
I'm singing not gonna wait for tomorrow
I'm living today
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take my time
All of this time is slowly stealing the day
There's nothing like the feeling that life's
Slipping away
Am i the only one under the sun
Who feels like it's all over before it's begun
I'm singing not gonna wait for tomorrow
I'm living today
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take my time -
Forget your problems
And ignore your headaches
Just turn up the radio and drive away
I'll take it anyway
I'm gonna take it all in the day and i'm gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
Cause today i'm not afraid to take
My time
My time
My time
As the sun beats down on me
And I look at everything,
You gave me, babe, you made me feel
Nothings seems to matter
As we walk along the edge of what he wants now where to go
I have become my worst enemy
Dont know why I lived so long anymore
Catch me as I fall down the stairs
Everyday
Shine on me before, you go away, one day
Smile at me one last time before, before you go away today, today, today
Now its raining down on me
I dont care cause we have seen it all together,
You and I
Staring at the shadows
Dancing up and down the walls
Of places we have been too long
I have become my worst enemy
Dont know why I lived so long anymore
Catch me as I fall down the stairs
Everyday
Smile at me one last time before, before you go away today
Smile at me one last time before, before you go away today, today, today
Today was the greatest day of all
Today was the greatest day of all
You smile at me before you go
Before you go
Before you go
Before you go
Before you go
Before you go
Eay!
Smile at me one last time before, before you go away today
Standing in the doorway
Of my life in this house
Trying to find a way to get out.
Looking for a sign
That I should open the door.
This craziness is getting me down
But today is the day we break free
Walking down the stairway
To the traffic below.
Anything could happen
I know.
But I'm sick of everybody
Telling me what to do
I hear you
Hey but I already know
And Today is the day we break free
Chorus:
It's clear in my mind
After all of this time
What I feel
My love
There are so many times
That the sun doesn't shine
But I'm here
My love
And Today is the day.
Maybe I should wait
Just a minute or two
It's getting cold now
I feel so insecure
The future is a mistress
That is so hard to please
And the past
Is a pebble in my shoe
But today is the day we break free
Today may be just another day, I'll be older yet
Shall I say 'I love you' nce again?
Until I soon forgrt while I'm wishing tomorrow would come
If you say each day is like a thousand years
Them why do I wait to love you?
If you say each day you cry a thousand tears
Then why do I wait to love you?
Today, it's a day I always face and it wanders by
Do I ever take away the pain?
When I take time to whisper words that can make you forget
You know I want to, you know I do
I'm saying good morning but it's not that way
I should be blaming the weather today
Or is it that noisy sledge hammer
Of my freaky neighbor
It's kinda early to talk right now
Later on we can work it out
So why don't you understand
That I'm off the hook and wanna be alone
All I want is breakfast right now
To get this morning rolling on somehow
I begining to smile with cheesecake
Now I feel awake and so I
Just don't care
Although that somebody drives without care
It was sunny but now it's raining
And I wonder why I'm complaining cause
I am standing proudly today
There is nothing to complain of
And everything will roll on
I am standing proudly today
And there is no special reason
That makes me smile throughout the seasons
I am standing proudly today
There is nothing to complain of
And everything will roll on
I am standing proudly today
Because I'm feeling happy inside
And it is building on my outside
Suddenly I can feel the sunny rays
Even though it's cloudy today
Took their mind off of the noisy sledge hammer
Of my freaky neighbor
I know that it becomes kinda tough
Holding back not blowing up
If there's a discussion
I try to hold on
Avoiding all distractions
It's not a matter of wrong or right
There's no winner when there's a fight
I can tell that I'm feeling lighter
Everything is brighter and so I
Just don't care
Although that somebody drives without care
It was sunny but now it's raining
And I wonder why I'm complaining cause
I am standing proudly today
There is nothing to complain of
And everything will roll on
I am standing proudly today
And there is no special reason
That makes me smile throughout the seasons
I am standing proudly today
There is nothing to complain of
And everything will roll on
I am standing proudly today
Because I'm feeling happy inside
And it is building on my outside
I am standing proudly today
Today I woke up and I found you
Today I breathe in life
Today I am free
Cause you're here with me
Today I, I feel alive
Today I know what silence is
Silence is everywhere
Today I know what silence is
Silence is my fate in you
Today the sunrise - today the sunset
Today the Earth spins around
Today I am nothing in this
Great Big World
But I'm something
Yeah, I'm something to you
Today I know what silence is
Silence is everywhere
Today I know what silence is
Silence is my fate in you
The silence is everywhere
Today I know what silence is
Silence is everywhere
Today I know what silence is
Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia
New Orleans style
Play, me a funeral procession
Second line rhythm, walk me that mile
Find a tomb for my hiding
Oh, let me just rest in there, rest for a while
Make a grand presentation
Oh, all of my family yeah, remember my time
The river is a running, Mississippi mud
My life is good, today
Fly, oh fly 'cause I got somewhere
I gotta be
Doctors and lawyers, with all their money
They won?t find me
The sky?s so big here, Arizona dust
My life is good, today
And I?m so alive now
Oh, it goes so quickly, yeah so many roads
Want to ask for forgiveness
My friends were all with me yeah, I was at home
My heart is so full here and my soul reconciled
My life is good, today
Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia
New Orleans style
Ooh and play, me a funeral procession
Today get your cinnamon and pray
Today get your cinnamon and pray for the beauty
Of our land and for the secrets, for the moments
That we use to share
Leather, covers, broken glasses, playing music and the
rain, airplanes, morbid phrases turning into dust…
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
in a world of sounds… you are always in my favourite
dreams,
lovely tender and proud
you may be…
Running around searching, looking for something
to find while I’m still here waiting for you,
do you see me at all my sweet sweet sweet love?
Today there is nothing left to say
Today there is nothing left to say
We all know that
just a word can break as into pieces
so that we cannot forget
Leather, covers, broken glasses, playing music and the
Rain, airplanes, morbid phrases turning into dust…
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
in a world of sounds…you are always in my favourite
dreams,
lovely tender and proud
You may be…
Running around searching, looking for something
to find while I’m still here waiting for you,
do you see me at all my sweet love?
Black and white photographs, dirty clothes, two guitars
dirty clothes, two guitars…
Spinning around, swimming, jumping
In a world of sounds…you are always in my favourite
dreams, lovely tender and proud
You may be…
Running around searching, looking for something to find
while I’m still here waiting for you…
Today may be just another day, I'll be older yet
Shall I say 'I love you' nce again?
Until I soon forgrt while I'm wishing tomorrow would come
If you say each day is like a thousand years
Them why do I wait to love you?
If you say each day you cry a thousand tears
Then why do I wait to love you?
Today, it's a day I always face and it wanders by
Do I ever take away the pain?
When I take time to whisper words that can make you forget
You know I want to, you know I do
stay with me
stay with me
stay with me
i can feel you
all the time
inside
and your here every day
just a wwisper away

Why do we hut ourselves this way
It’s getting worst everyday
I feel like I wanna give up
Or is it letting go
‘Cause when you give up,
It’s freeing someone
Who’s never really yours
And letting go is freeing someone
Who should have been rightfully yours
Let’s give it one more try
Tomorrow might be too late
We are on our last few minutes of today
[chorus]
Let’s give it one more try
Tomorrow might be too late
We are in/on last few minutes of today
It’s been hard to keep up the fight
That’s why I have to turn back
‘Cause you’re better off with him
And I am letting go
And letting go is freeing someone
Who should have been rightfully yours
[repeat chorus]
Let’s give it one more try
Tomorrow might be too late
We are on our last few minutes of today
And letting go is freeing someone
Who should have been rightfully yours
Show me the road and I will find my own
You build your bridges and I'll burn them down
So far away and all alone I roam
I'm taking chances in the here and now
And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding throwing up your hands
While the heroes ride again
God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm livin' in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow
So I'll live for today
Another day and yet another's done
Spending a life living within the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it will be your last
But still you wonder who's for sale
You won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding holding up your hands
While the heroes ride again
God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm livin' in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow
So I'll live for today
We'll never know it
When we run out of time
'Till it's all over with
And there'll be nowhere to run
We'll never say it but we're over our heads and we're
Drowning inside
All of these things we've said
God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm livin' in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
Cuz we're not handed tomorrow
So I'll live for today
God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm livin' in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
Cuz we're not handed tomorrow
One, two, three, four!!!
Today - I'd like to tell you a story
Today - Things will not be the same
Today - There will be no more sorrow
We won't let you push us around
We won't take anymore shit from you
Today - I'm gonna tell you a story
Today - Things will definitely change
Today - Your glory days will be over
You can't push us around anymore
My future seems so full of life
And brighter now than it has ever been,
But somehow I just can't allow
My shell to crack
And let the sun shine in...
Today I feel so sick
Today I feel comfortable with this
If I should die before you
I'll always be around to guide you
In your center you'll find me
And in the sky as a star still shining
But if If i can't pick myself back up
Just enough to see above the haze
My family buries the middle son
The church bells ring,
They don't know what to say...
They don't say anything at all...
The silence takes control of me
There's violence in my circuitry
And one day I won't feel so sick
More things to buy more clothes to wear
The perfect job the perfect wife
A new color for the hair
Take a look around the way we’re livin’
It’s no secret we think that just a little more
Just a little bit further then we’re there
but time asks no questions it moves on in spite of me
it’s not about my style of life my own prosperity
it’s time we open up our eyes to find there’s so much more
and all I’m asking is what you’re living for today
he say the hurts saw the pain and knew our needs
cured the sick healed the lame and made the
blind man see
a life laid down the perfect gift for you and me
loves greatest sacrifice a picture of how
it ought to be , how it ought to be
but time asks no questions it moves on in spite of me
it’s not about my style of life my own prosperity
it’s time we open up our eyes to find there’s so much more
and all I’m asking is what you’re living for today ,(oh today)
so take a look around go find a brother and help him stand
take the risk to love another with an outstretched hand
‘cause time asks no questions it moves on in spite of me
it’s not about my style of life my own prosperity
it’s time we open up our eyes to find there’s so much more
so much more,
and all I’m asking is what you’re living for
and all I’m asking is what you’re living for
and all I’m asking is what you’re living for, today
theres a couple lines i cant understand what they are saying. i put question marks in for those lines
Today
And Today Could Be,
The Last Day You Ever See
Ask Yourself Did You Even Try
Tomorrow's No Guarantee
And What If You Should Die
Could You Tell Me
What Are You Waiting For?
(what are you waiting for)
Said You Always Wanted More
(said you always wanted more)
There is No Tomorrow
There is Just Today
There is No Forever
Don't Let It Slip Away
(don't let It slip away)
But Already At Today
So Don't Wait
So Don't Wait
I Don't Believe in Phrophecy
I Don't Believe it's One Fate to Decide
I Rather Take My Chance At Sea
Then Just Try and Try and Try to Survive
And 9 to 5
Then Suicide(?)
So Tell Me
What Are You Waiting For?
(what are you waiting for)
No Excuses Anymore
(no excuses anymore)
And There is No Tomorrow
There is Just Today
There is No Forever

What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
There's someone new
And they're true
I can't believe I was so blind I didn't see
That you couldn't be the type of man to meet my needs
Strangest thing is everyone tried to tell me
But I did what they told me not to
You nearly had my everything
by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear
I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof
(I don't want you)
What made you think I would be fooled (Be fooled)
I now see through you (Yes I do)
And you're the fool
Tell me (Tell me)
How do you (How do you)
feel when you see me (When you see me)
And I disregard you (Disregard you)
There's someone new
And they're true
It was the saddest thing I thought there was no help for me
Cos you made me think I wasn't worth anything
Now I see you didn't have no self esteem
And all you loved was Mel B's money
You nearly had my everything
by running game on me
You told me all I had to hear
I thought love was finally here
But then one day the truth I'd see your game was incomplete
Cos when I realised the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof
(I don't want you)
What made you (Made you)
think I would be fooled (think I would be fooled)
I now see through you (I can see through you)
And you 're the fool (you're the fool, baby, you're the fool)
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me (When you see me)
And I disregard you (Oh...)
There's someone new
and they're so true
You nearly had my everything, by running game on me
You lied to me, why did you lie to me
But then one day the truth it seems your game was incomplete
I found out the truth
I see your plan, you're not my man so get from under my roof
(I don't want you)
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you (I'm glad I saw through you)
And you're the fool
Tell me (Tell me, tell me)
How do you feel when you see me (Do when you see)
And I disregard you (Disregard you)
There's someone new (One new)
and they're so true (And they're so true)
What made you think I would be fooled
I now see through you
And you're the fool
Tell me
How do you feel when you see me
And I disregard you
Today I want to have a nap on mars.
I want to play a hokey game in Hollywood with all the stars.
I want to meet the freaks in Beetle juice and make 'em all my friends.
I wanna ride a dragon with my buddies in the band.
Today I wanna teach my cat to talk.
I wanna get an elephant and take it for a walk.
I wanna go out with Snow White and introduce her to my dwarf.
I wanna bungee jump the Everest using liquorice as a rope.
Welcome home idiots.
We’re gonna play we're kings and we're gonna brake our arms and our ribs.
I'll teach you all the tricks.
To have a random day and forget about the maggots inside your head.
And party like its '99.
Something beautiful today is gonna happen
I can feel it in my bones it's gonna happen
Yeah, this feeling I'm feeling
It's incredible to me, and so strong
Don't ask me how I know, I can't explain it
It's so wonderful that I don't wanna change it
Yeah, it's so strange, it's so strange
Faith is knocking at my door once more
Today's the day that something great I know is gonna happen
Today, today, no I can't wait, I know it's got my name on
Today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Yeah yeah (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
It's gonna happen today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Something will change...
No today won't be the same as any other
There is something left for me here to discover
Maybe these dreams that we dream
Are all possible to reach, you'll see
Today's the day that something great I know is gonna happen
Today, today, no I can't wait, I know it's got my name on
Today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Yeah yeah (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
It's gonna happen today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Something will change...
(instrumental)
Today's the day that something great I know is gonna happen
Today, today, no I can't wait, I know it's got my name on
Today's the day that something great I know is gonna happen
Today, today, no I can't wait, I know it's got my name on
Today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Yeah yeah (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
It's gonna happen today (something will happen today, something great will happen today)
Something will change...
(make today the day something beutiful happens and go get Mel B's album please!)
Today I walk, today I run
The finish line has just begun
You're with me now I cannot lose
This ancient love makes me new
In a moment I am changed
Over time I'm changing
Today I wait expectantly
In You I dare to believe
I'm pressing on with hope in You
There's freedom here in all you do
In a moment I am changed
Over time I'm changing
Today I come to Your presence
And drink Your wine
I'll stay awhile in Your presence
As Your heart becomes mine
Wide awake in your presence
I breathe the sky
I come alive in your presence
As your life becomes mine
Another day it's all the same
Another way to make it sane.
And here we are another breed.
Another train to make it seem all ok.
In and out of all these towns.
Spins me round, it takes me down, takes me down.
Lyin here oh what to do.
Same ole stuff it's the same old tune, the same old
Tune
Chorus:
Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same
Same old song, it's the same old thing
Cuz it waits, it waits on you.
Go to sleep, go to bed.
Lay it up, put down your head.
The day is o'er and the night has fallen
We'll do it all again, yeah we'll do it all again.
Chorus:
Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same
Same old song, it's the same old thing
I was gonna call you tonight
But I thouhgt I just might
Go on the net instead
The hit the lights and go to bed
I opened my email hoping there'd be one from you
There was so I opened it
My eyes were fixed to the screen
Like paper and glue
As I read the words you had typed
My eyes filled up and cried
You were saying sorry
Sorry that you ever asked out me
You said it wouldn't work out
That we would never see each other
I could make no sound, not even a shout
Not even a whispere
It was today I realised
That I really was in love with you
You can see it in my eyes
I can see it in yours, too
The night before I was having doubts
I thought I didn't really love you
But today I now know
I really do
I wrote in my Diary
That I wouldn't care
If you broke up with me
But now I swear, baby I do
Today I realised how much you mean to me
Today you were the only person I wanted to see
Today was not a good day
Because today, you broke up with me
xxoo

TODAY
( ) C Am F G7 / C Am F G7 / C Am F G7 / C Am F G7 C
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today.
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover.
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover.
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring.
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory.
I can't live on promises, winter to spring.
Today is my moment, and now is my story.
I can't believe this time
The reasons you tell me, the songs that you sing
I'm here to tell you the words you should say
I can't believe this time
You always forget all the things that you hear
This way you can't change anything but today
Man, you come and walk alone
And you pretend you're having fun
If you own nothing work for some
Open your eyes before it's gone
I can't believe this time
You think you can't have anything but a dream
Just try not to think everybody is OK
I can't believe this time
You shout at them, spit at them, and break up their feelings
You know you can't treat anyone in this way
Man you come and walk alone
And you pretend you're having fun
If you own nothing ask for some
Open your eyes before they kick your ass
And give you less than you've always dreamed, yeah
Today, today
You should make it real today
I don't like you me
Why what did I do to you or should I say me
You don't do what I want to do
Like you're supposed to all I want is to own you
I can't make you stay
And I thought I heard you say
Today's a sorry day
There's nothing you could say cause
I can't wish away
Today today today
Today today today
There I go again
Making assumptions on you or should I say me
Sorry days can't go away
They're necessary for all our quite contrary
All I can do is pray
I thought I heard you say
Today's a sorry day
There's nothing you could say cause
I can't wish away
Today today today
Today today today
I can't wish away
Can't make you stay
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll feast at your table I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises Winter to Spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
(I smell dead bodies)
Today I feel like a million dollars
I've had my fix and I'm ready to roll
I may be dead, but I'm more alive than you
This body is out of control
This body is out of control
This body is out of control
I see a thousand people running (my god, they can here
me coming)
I can see a thousand faces turning (and they can see my
eyes are burning)
This body is out of control
This body is out of control
Today I'll feed the creepy crawlers
They are my army, the army of freaks, yeah
Cruel, evil and obscene, the greatest ice show, ever
seen
We are the freaks, yeah
We are the dirty freaks
We are the freaks, yeah
We are the dirty freaks
We are the freaks, yeah
We are the dirty freaks
We are the freaks, yeah
We are the dirty freaks
La-la-la-la-lala-la-la
La-la-la-la-lala-la-la
La-la-la-la-lala-la-la
La-la-la-la-lala-la-la
Today I'll feed the creepy crawlers
They are my army, the army of freaks, yeah
Cruel, evil and obscene the greatest ice show, ever

Freaks, yeah

The dirty freaks
Freaks, yeah

We are the freaks, yeah
Light of the world, hope for all man, You never let me down
I can't believe You call me Your friend, It's turned my whole life around
But still it's hard to let go of the wheel
No one ever showed how
Maybe this time You can take the lead
And I won't try to pull You by the sleeve
Because every time I think that I know better I lose my way
So God, what You wanna do today?
You are the King of Heaven and earth, all of creation bows
I give You my heart for all that it's worth, I'm at Your service now
But I always want to guess just what You need
Trying to honor my vow
Maybe this time You can take the lead
And I won't try to pull You by the sleeve
Because every time I think that I know better I lose my way
So God, what You wanna do today?
Maybe we will spend the hours just being still
And knowing You are God, You are God
Every time I think that I know better I lose my way
today I'm looking at the world
and I see ugliness and beauty neighbours
and angel lives inside a liar
and he doesn't even know
that he has all this inside him
it's been seven years since I've been looking for
and I was crying for more
today I'm taking back my world
'cause I've judging everybody
so easily
instead, I show you who I am
a liar, an angel, a generous egoist genius coward
it's been seven years since I've been looking for
and I was crying for more
today I'm looking at our world
and I think choices are everywhere every second
we choose to love, choose to hate
choose to lose or win
to take a risk or to give up
'cause it's been seven years since I've been looking for
and I was crying for more
it's been seven years since I've been looking for
and I was dying for more
today I'm celebrating our insanity
'cause we are loving unreasonably
we lost our hold
no promises
no signs of where to go
just a pure moment of joy
it's been seven years since I've been looking for
and I was crying for more
it's been seven years since I've been looking for
VERSE 1
Hello
Today
I’m as lonely as you were in May
Today
Some say
Today
Is all there ever will be so I’ll stay
Today
CHORUS
Message to the one
Step into the sun
Remember all the days
That disappeared like rain
Open up your eyes
Everything’s alright
I tried to make you see
The wood for the trees
VERSE 2
You pray
Today
That tomorrow will be your day
You say
I may
Today
Tell you how I am feeling, in your way
Today
CHORUS x2
OUTRO
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be the only one
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
Today
A very bad day
A day you choose to lose
The zinneke way
Today
A very bad day
What do I have to prove
To give her a day
Do you understand ?
Today
A very bad day
I lose the right to choose
The very best way
Because some day
I won't be late
I'll have time on my side
To give her everyday
Do you understand ?
Someone I knew you
Someone like you
Someone I love
Someone like you
Someone I can't get over from
I can't complain
I can't deny my last regret
Oh I... lost my chance oh...
With someone I could trust
Today
A very bad day
I swear I choose to choose
Zinneke Zinneke
Someday
Maybe I stay
And all the rest will fade
Because of the day
Step out from the walls
It's time to start the dancing
Stop holding all your cards
It's time to take some chances
Fall into a dream
Let it spit you back out
Just drop everything
And take a look around you
Take a look around you
Send your fear away
Let it slip away
Today is a revival
Today
Today
All you need to know is that you're letting go
Today is a revival
Today
Today
Man don't you just stand there
Go on and tell her
Look at all the love
Ain't it like a shelter
When you just
Send your fear away
Let it slip away
Today is a revival
Today
Today
All you need to know is that you're letting go
Today is a revival
Today
Today
Brother are you broken
Sister are you down
You don't have to stay in your place
In your place
Send your fear away
Let it slip away
Today is a revival
Today
Today
All you need to know is that you're letting go
Today is a revival
Today
Today
(x2)
Today
Today
I get out of bed
And then I don't be late
I take my pills
I walk myself down the street
And it's always the same around here
Nothing to do, nothing to eat
There's this guy down on the street
And he wants to borrow money from me
But I can't help him and I'm just so broke
Barely pay my bills, barely buy my smokes
And I ain't ever gonna break out of here
And I ain't havin'
It anymore today
And everyday I take a good luck around
The media's crazy, people looking up and down
And they don't even know their names
What a joke, what a tease
And I just keep on moving around
'Cause I don't want to die anymore
I know it's crazy but I want what's mine
I feel so empty so come inside
My mind's eating me alive
And I ain't havin'
It anymore today
When the sun begins to die
And the demons say stand in line
They're watching over you
'Cause the moon, it cries for the night
Ghost and goblins working overtime
Hundreds of people in the checkout line
And they all want to look the same
With their cool hair, and their smooth lines
And I can't
But you know
'Cause in your mind, you never get to strut
Don't take no shit from some two-bit thug
And always look before you cross the street
And I ain't havin' it anymore today
it takes a moment to change your mind and it takes a moment to realize all your life flashes by in a blink of an eye and you say, âis it too lateâ live today as if it was your last day try today to forget about the past today, today it takes a moment to dream a dream and it takes a moment to believe and all our lives we've tried to see and i say, âis it too lateâ live today as if it was your last day and try today to forget about the past and love today as if it was your last day to say goodbye today, today, today, today it takes a moment to change your life it takes a moment to survive and all my life i have tried and i know it's not too late! chorus
It started with one look kept on getting stronger
What I've been holding back won't be held back any longer
Let me say to you what my heart's been longing to
Every night I've dreamed about you every day tried to make it come true
Every star shining up in heaven reminds me of you
Every road I've ever taken every choice I've ever made
Has lead me right here to you Today
I been afraid to tell you didn't know how you'd react
With all this love I have to give couldn't go on feeling like that
Now my silence is broken and it's left my heart wide open
Every night I've dreamed about you...
No nothing's in my way no more running no more hiding no I'm not afraid
Today, I thought that every dance would have a dancer.
Today, I thought that every singer had a song,
but today, I learned that I was wrong.
Today, I thought that every mother had a father.
Today, I thought that every father had a son,
but today, I found that I was wrong.
(Chorus:)
Don't ask me why the seasons change,
It's
Don't ask me why today's today,
yesterday is not tomorrow.
[außer auf Hindi, da heißt beides "kal", aber die Hindus glauben ja
auch an den Kreislauf der Wiedergeburten, kleine Anmerkung von mir]
Today, I thought that every question had an answer.
Today, I thought that every answer was the proof,
but today, I learned the truth.
Chorus
La la la la
I feel just like a castaway
In circumstantial dissaray
Like a guest thatt's on display
Looking for some time away
What I need here You provide
You keep me safe and satisfied
Life is just a souvenier
And I am just a stranger here
[chorus]
This is not where I belong
The days here all seem so long
I hope that Jesus comes today, today
Hooray, today
I've got a home up in the sky
A mansion I'll soon occupy
That's a place that I hold dear,
but God's not through with me down here
[chorus]
This is not where I belong
The days here all seem so long
I hope that Jesus comes today, today
Hooray, today
I can't imagine how and when You'll appear
I reached for heaven's door, and everything came crystal clear
I will be ready to ascend
To be taken by a friend
On that day, I'll fly away
Maybe it will be today
[chorus]
This is not where I belong
The days here all seem so long
It's strange today
That I awoke and that you stayed forever
Asleep
It pains to say
That I don't know how I feel this way
with out you
But i'm with out you
And i'm afraid
ohohoh
ohohoh
It's strange Today
That I awoke and that you stayed forever
Asleep
It strange today
I sware today that I was going to call you
And say I love you
I did love you
Did you know? Did you know?
Did you know? Did you know?
ohohoh, Did you know?
ohohoh, Did you know?
It's strange today
That I awoke and that you stayed forever
Yo today is a wonderful day, okay
Yo today, no every thing's going my way
Woke up this morning
Levitating high above my bed
No bad emotions, no complications running through my head
Ja I lay calm in the silence as I felt the world turning for me
Ja I believe anything is possible as long as we remain real enough to dream
Ja today is a wonderful day, okay
Ja today, no every thing's going my way
Crack through the sunlight
Not a care in the world
When the ice freezes over
I can come back to the cold
Ja I see a shimmer in your eye
A shimmer in your eye as I soak up the sun
Ja I feel brand new today
Like my life has just begun
Ja today is a wonderful day, okay
Ja today, no every thing's going my way
Today is a wonderful day, okay
Yo today, no every thing's going my way
Yo today is a wonderful day, okay
Ja today is a wonderful day, okay

Today I can say
the sun is shining
and I'm okay
I can scrunch my nose
and wiggle my toes
I can slap my knees
just as I please
I'm alright
I got teeth I can bite
no need to worry I'm a happy sight
It's hard to become what you always wanted no one is like
you you feel so lonely what have I done? I've worked so
hard and today I am what I want you might say I'm a crazy
An ocean of longing
I spit out the song and
I laugh with the tide that rolls in goes out
A bookshelf casts shadows
They dance out my window
The kids in the neighborhood scream and shout
Today, today
Today I stop guessing and give you my heart
Today, today
Today is a blessing
You're far and I'm missing you
I can't wait to be with you if only to say
Stay, stay
A puzzle of pieces
Mixed and unequal
I try to make sense of the shapes as they shift
I'm keeping a record
Desires that I can't afford
I hope to recieve each one as a gift
Today, today
Today I stop guessing and give you my heart
Today, today
Today is a blessing
You're far and I'm missing you
I can't wait to be with you if only to say
Stay, stay
Put your hand in mine
Just like you do all the time
In a room with the door closed
In a room when we're all alone
If there's a method to madness
And secrets bring sadness
I'll draw up a map we can leave today
Forget all the messes
We'll change our addresses
If there's one thing I know, it's how
To run away
Today
Today I stop guessing and give you my heart
Today, today
Today is a blessing
You're far and I'm missing you
I can't wait to be with you if only to say
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Got the bluest eyes
That I have seen (seen, seen, seen)
Lost up in the skies
Caught in a dream (dream, dream, dream)
What you whisper to me
And breathe into my vains
And believe in magic
To wash away the stain
And it feels like today
So just hold on tight
And let it slip away
And it feels like today
So just hold on tight
And let it slip away
Give me all the weight
That holds you down (down, down, down)
Don't let it stop
And burn in for the sound (sound, sound, sound)
And the world keeps moving
It's all we ever known
And I know inside that
I'll never be alone
And it feels like today
So just hold on tight
i don't put my trousers on
i don't put my trousers on
i don't put my trousers on
today
i'm going to stay where i belong
i'm going to stay where i belong
i'm going to stay where i belong
today
and i start my sentimental journey
by watching photographs in bed
leafing through the many lifes i had
my simple mind needs resurrection
from meeting people on my way
it's all a little bit too much these days
i'm not answering the phone
i'm not answering the phone
i'm not answering the phone
today
i feel the need to be alone
i feel the need to be alone
i feel the need to be alone
Towards the horizon
Dark as the December sun
In straight lines
The sons and the daughters
Of generation to come
In the flickering light
Vulgar creatures
Disgusted by what they have become
Pre-Fabricated dreams
The heel on the throat of the young
Today is the tomorrow
That you were promised yesterday
The more that you give
The more they will take
Disappointment Moving fast
In the world of the slow
A heretic of the golden age
Dying to steal the show
Today is the tomorrow
That you were promised yesterday
The more that you give
The more they will take
You`re fooled to believe that you`re free
Chained to a life of deceit
You`re fooled to believe that you need
All that they want you to need
Open your eyes
It's time to wake up
The day has begun and the world's on fire
Kiss the face
Of the bright shining sun
'Good morning' I say, with a wink and a smile
Today is the day that we wake up together
Full of happiness and laughter
Today is the day that we dance with each other
To music that no one can hear
Except you and I and the angels of destiny
Today is the day...
Freeze this moment
So time will stand still
And I'll kiss you, never miss you, again
Hold me always
And forever until
Forever and always and eternity ends
Today is the day that we smile like children
Full of hope, dreams, and promises
Today is the day that we stroll across eden
To the gates of the garden that no one can see
Except you and I and the angels of destiny
Today is the day...
I woke from a dream and found myself alone
In the bed of my room with no one else home
And I wished it was real, and I wanted you here
But today won't be real for one more long year
So I'll keep my eyes closed and think of you
With no one else home
In the bed of my room
And I'll make it okay for as long as it takes
I have an injury
It's there for all to see
They pay to watch as the blood pours out
And it's my priviledge
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Of losing my mind
The fasination lives
Inside the world that spins
Around the scene of the accident
And they're most interested
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
Of losing your mind
Of losing your mind
When I walk along the street
I see you all who know your sanity
Is hanging by a thread
I went to church today
To pray it all away
I watched the meek pass the hat around
But I'd already paid
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah i'm in danger
Of losing my mind
Of losing my mind
Losing my mind
Right here
Is where
Your arm belongs
And I knew
From the start
I knew it all along
Feeling all my feelings
Playing with my fire
Make the next move
Kindles my desire
And I know what I'm thinkin'
That you know what I know
One thing's for sure's
That I'll never let you go
Some things last forever
Stand the test of time
It's you and me together
That's the bottom line
Come Hell or high water
Till the end of time
It's you and me forever
That's the bottom line
Was it love
Or a strange
Twist of fate
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
We took it on blind faith
Turnin' back the pages
And tryin' to find the facts
Our love is gettin' stronger
There's no turnin' back
No more nasty looks
You play no dirty tricks
Nothing here is broken
So there's nothing here to fix
Some things last forever
Stand the test of time
It's you and me together
That's the bottom line
Never say never
Till the end of time
We'll go through Hell together
That's the bottom line
If you want it
You know where to find it
It's forever
That's the bottom line
Don't forget it
You'll never regret it
We're together
That's the bottom line
Some things last forever
Stand the test of time
It's you and me together
That's the bottom line
Come Hell or high water
Till the end of time
It's you and me forever
That's the bottom line
Some things last forever
Stand the test of time
It's you and me together
That's the bottom line
Come Hell or high water
Till the end of time, yeah!
No, no, never say never
That's the bottom line, yeah!
Some things last forever
Stand the test of time
It's you and me together
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring?
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring (winter to spring)
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
It's six o'clock
still in bed to my dismay
people are hurrying though the town
they work all the day saving their pay
to bay themselves into a better life
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na ...
I stagger out of bed and wash my aching head
trough my window shines the sun-light bright and clean
look on people's head
looks like pearls in river beds
and then laugh about their little world
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na ...
I stagger out of bed and wash my aching head
trough my window shines the sun-light bright and clean
look on people's head
looks like pearls in river beds
and then laugh about their little world
Today...when we hear His voice
Today...we won't harden our hearts
Today...we are living this choice
To fall at His feet and believe
To fall at His feet and believe
The slaves are falling away
Today I saw him he looked away as if I was onto him
His eyes were on it drove away with guilt on his shoulders
Today I saw her she looked at me as if it was over
Her eyes so modest walked away like I didn't know her
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to walk on
This time he got away tomorrow there's another day coming
Today before him watched this world fall without notice
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to call on
Today just like any other day
If I get by today
Today feels like every other day
I will get by today
And it's never too late to call on home
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to call on home
And it's never too late to walk on
Today just like any other day
I will get by today
Today just like any other day
I will get by today
Today just like every other day
I peeked in to say good-night
And then I heard my child in prayer
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair".
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare.
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair.
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where.
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
