Today

The crown stayed where it fell
That was enough

Morning came without a word
The room looked just the same
Every little thing was there
Right where it belonged

Opened up the window wide
Morning filled the room
Funny how an ordinary day
Was already here

No reason to rush
No place to hide

Just one more day
Already begun

No borrowed voice
No borrowed name

One clear step
One steady soul

To live
Not hold

Because

Today is mine

Every answer has its place
Every season has its turn
Some things stay beside my hands
Some I'll leave behind

Nothing asking who I'll be
Nothing drawing lines
Every choice begins right here
One decision at a time

Every answer
Has its time

Mine begins
Right here

No borrowed voice
No borrowed name

One clear step
One steady soul

To live
Not hold

Because

Today is mine

The sky never changed
I finally looked up

No borrowed voice
No borrowed name

One clear step
One steady soul

To live
Not hold

Because

Today is mine

And finally

That's what living means
