When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And 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
All its silent beauty
Seemed to say
So what, my friend
If all your dreams
You haven't realized
Look around you, boy
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 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
To take from life
That I might learn to give
Today is mine
