Today Is Mine

Today Is Mine
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
