When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise. |
|
As its beauty struck the darkness from the skies. |
|
I thought how small and unimportant all my troubles seem to be, |
|
and how lucky another day belongs to me. |
|
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day, |
|
and all its silent beauty seemed to say: |
|
So what, my friend, if all your dreams you haven't realized. |
|
Look around, you got a whole new day to try. |
|
Today is mine, today is mine, to do with what I will. |
|
Today is mine. My own special cup to fill. |
|
To die a little that I might learn to live. |
|
And take from life that I might learn to give. |
|
Today is mine. |
|
With all men I curse the present that seems void of peace of mind, |
|
and race my thoughts beyond tomorrow and vision there more peace of mind. |
|
But when I view the day around me I can see the fool I've been. |
|
For today is the only garden we can tend. |
|
Today is mine, today is mine, to do with what I will. |
|
Today is mine. My own special cup to fill. |
|
To die a little that I might learn to live. |
|
And take from life that I might learn to give. |
|
Today is mine. |
