Today

I wish to find the magic in everything I see,
And concoct it into one small morsel,
And bring it back home with me,
To give it to you as I planned, when I went away,
My quest is done, finally won, I give to you Today.

Today, is all we have, there is no guarantee,
That there will be another tomorrow following close behind.
We should not take each day for granted as we travel through,
We should view everything and everyone as something very new.

So spread your wings and fly with me through this special time,
Just lose your fears, no more tears and open up your mind.
We have just this single day, to live through our dreams,
A single day, no such way, an eternity it seems.

So let’s scale the great white Andres,
And sail the rough waters of the Northern Sea,
Let’s fly a zephyr through the clouds,
And go on a living spree.
And I will take the moisture from the air,
And the sunlight from the sky,
And the magic from everyone’s touch,
and the truth from every alibi.

And concoct it into one small morsel,
And bring it home with me,
To give to you, as I promised when I went away,
My quest is done, I finally won, I give to you Today.

So let’s run the fastest mile,
And jump higher than any man has ever leaped before,
And write magical words that bring on peace and war deters,
And knock on every window and open every door.

Because Today is all we have, there is no guarantee,
That there will be another tomorrow following close behind.
We should not take each day for granted as we travel through,
We should see everything and everyone as something very new.
​
So love me like you never dared to love another man,
Squeeze me till my breath burns out, love me till I burst a spout,
Give me every ounce of passion that you have,
Make me cry and want to die, make me pray for another day,
So that you can burn me out.
