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 seemed to be
And how lucky another day belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day
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 haven't realized
Just look around you, you've got a whole new day to try
Today is mine
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 curse the present
Void of peace of mind
And raise my thoughts beyond tomorrow
And vision there a speed of time
And vision there a speed of time
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
Today is mine
To do with what I will
Today is mine
To die a little


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
Today is mine
Today is mine
