what about today?

the tears i'm shedding now

i hear will dry in time

the fears i'm fearing now

i hear will die in time

but while i wait around for tomorrow

watching life drift away

what about

yes

what about today?

i know if i just wait

the sun will shine some day

and when it does

the weather will be fine someday

and while the skies i search for tomorrow

stay that same shade of gray

what about

yes

what about today?

till nirvana comes

what about today?

till messiah comes

what about today?

till the mountains move

and oceans part and angels sing

and life can start

what about

yes what about today?

i can't help wondering

if tomorrow ever comes

and what's my life been lived for

if it never comes

i've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow

but none of them ever say

what about today?

what about today?

till nirvana comes

till the mountains move

and oceans part and angels sing

and what's my life been lived for

i've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow

but none of them ever say

what about today? what about today?
