Today Is Mine

When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise

And as its beauty struck the darkness from the sky

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

All its silent beauties seemed to say

So what my friend if all your dreams you have and realized

Just look around you 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 to take from life that I might learn to give

Today is mine

Like most men I cursed the present to avoid the peace of mind

And raise my thoughts beyond tomorrow and vision there more peace of mind

But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been

For today's the only garden we can tend

Today is mine...
