Today

This is my latest "hit single"... it's a song about maturing, growing up and accepting myself. Based on something that happened to me recently. Sorry about the way it's arranged, FP won't let me set it up normally... "Today, today" starts the chorus.

Today

Today I have aged a thousand years

Today I have staged the setting for

My next great opus

Today I have dried a thousand tears

Today I have tried to touch a moon

Yet far away from us

Today, today

I have vanquished myself

Put my fear on the shelf

Today, today

I have conquered my fear

Told all I hold dear

That I love them all the more…

Today

Today I am strong by the height of my stance

Today I am wrong, and it makes me proud

To know I can say "I'm sorry" aloud

Today I am pure by the light of the dance

Today I am sure I can find the way

And that I grow more each day

Today, today

I am confident, sure

I have shattered the lure

Today, today

I am filled with the grace

Of not saving face

For the sake of admitting I'm wrong…

Today

Today I will shatter the illusion of fear

And it doesn't matter if they won't believe

'Cause they'll never know

What I have achieved

Today I will burst through and I'll take you from here

We've been through the worst and we'll yet see the best

To find the beauty is the ultimate test

Today, today

I will open my heart

Set my persistence apart

Today, today

I will stand ever strong

With a smile, with a song

And I know I'll only get better…

Today

Today, today, today

Today, today, today

I've grown all the more

Today
