When the sun came up this morning, I took the time to watch it riseAnd as its beauty struck the darkness from the skyI thought how small and unimportant all my troubles seemed to beAnd how lucky another day belongs to meAnd as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the dayAnd as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the dayAll its silent beauties seemed to saySo what, my friend, if all your dreams you haven't realizedJust look around you, you've got a whole new day to tryToday is mineToday is mineToday is mineTo do with what I willToday is mineMy own special cup to fillTo die a littleThat I might learn to liveTo take from lifeThat I might learn to giveToday is mineLike most men, I curse the presentVoid of peace of mindAnd raise my thoughts beyond tomorrowAnd vision there a speed of timeAnd vision there a speed of timeBut as I view this day around meI can see the fool I've beenFor today's the only garden we can tendToday is mineToday is mineTo do with what I willToday is mineTo die a littleMy own special cup to fillTo die a littleThat I might learn to liveTo take from lifeThat I might learn to giveToday is mineToday is mineToday is mine¶¶
