When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise.
As its beauty struck the darkness
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,
and all its silent beauty seemed
if all your dreams you haven't realized.
you got a whole new day to try.
Today is mine, today is mine,
To die a little that I might
And take from life that I
With 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
Today is mine, today is mine,
To die a little that I might learn to live.
that I might learn to give.
