Intro: verse 1 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 seem to be And how lucky another day belongs to me verse 2 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 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 verse 3 Like most men I cursed the present void of peace of mind And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow and envision there a sweeter time Bridge 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......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...
