Live Today

Thank you for picking up the phone I was feeling so alone but you knew just what to say what to say a listening ear a helping hand just someone who understands can take the dark clouds away and I can’t thank you enough for lifting me up when I get stuck Chorus you’re a friend always there for me like a lovely melody you give not expecting anything in return a friend always by my side even on the bumpy rides how am I so lucky to have you in my life in my life today I was in a daze hoping that it was just a phase but I felt like this last week too but you always read my thoughts and you free me when I’m caught up in nothing even when we’re busy and don’t speak in three months you’ll always have a place in my heart I know that nothing can take this bond away no matter how long we’re apart.

I’m not sure how I got here now everything’s so unclear just want this dark night to pass so many life choices and just as many voices why doesn’t the sunlight last and every step feels like a run I want to finish but I’ve just begun and i can see the light but it’s so far away I won’t stop now til’ I find my way cuz the destination it just keeps on changing like an escalator going up going down I thought that I made it but I have to recreate it gotta get my feet back on the ground on the ground I’m asking every question getting lots of suggestions that make my head spin even more it’s so hard to find the middle and I tend to belittle myself when I see I’ll never be like everyone else life is a push and pull constantly back and forth dust yourself off and get right back up when you feel like you’re getting stuck in the tide G-d will help you when you’ve had enough.

No one said that butterflies were born with wings no one said that simple people wake up as kings it’s not about the details of your situation everyone’s got problems it’s just how you face them Chorus I may not know all of the answers I may not read all of the signs but in my heart I feel the power cuz’ Your words are divine what would my life be like without You Oh just the thought it scares me so Hashem I’m holding on forever I’m never letting go I used to want to take a stroll down easy street but now i know you gotta work to earn your keep life’s about the ups and downs the highs the lows the spinning round looking deeper getting lost and found getting lost and found people can say whatever they like but You’re my king and You run my life I believe in You and everything You do whether it’s light or dark as night.

The city is no place for princesses wandering to find their way I really want to know what to make of this so many are going astray know that you’re not alone G-d’s waiting for you at His throne I’m ready to enter the palace won’t You judge me favorably help me live peacefully I’m ready to enter the palace and all I want to be is what You ask of me as I walk down the streets I see so many people just trying to make ends meet life isn’t simple so many princesses and queens noblemen and kings all living in false realities Your will is my will do it yes i will cuz’ no distance is too far and Your love is so pure even though I’m unsure but no decree is too harsh.

It’s about time that I got to know myself I’m really tired of feeling like I’m someone else in this world of colors we all get lost sometimes as you paint your picture there’s so much that you will find Chorus and you’ll learn a little laugh a little sometimes you’re stuck in the middle that’s life the rain is pouring from the sky and you can’t help but wonder why why can’t I fly as I look around I see so much that I don’t know I wish it didn’t have to be so hard to grow don’t hide away come one let your colors show I wish you could see that you’re so beautiful your wings aren’t strong enough yet but don’t be down don’t forget every day you can start anew so forgive yourself don’t regret you’ll be great you’ll pass the test believe in yourself just believe in yourself.

I’ve been searching for meaning in my life and I’m always questioning will I ever get it right I’m trying so hard to find the path that I know I must take but I really don’t want to make anymore mistakes Chorus I’m not gonna cry not gonna wonder why nothing makes sense right now and I’m done with worrying about what’s happening G-d will help me through somehow and there’ll be no more tears I’m facing all my fears cuz’ today is today live in the moment live today G-d I know You have a plan for me wish I knew what it was lately I’ve been running around in circles just because Don’t want to sink I want to swim but I don’t know where to begin will You carry me if i jump into the water father and tomorrow’s a new story but today is what I have don’t want to waste another second I’ve done way too much of that.

You may just know me better than I know myself and you never waste a second when I tell you I need help we can talk for hours we can laugh all day we have a special power and I hope it never goes away I’ll be your shelter in the night when things go wrong I’ll make them right you’re my sister you’re my friend and I’ll be there til’ the end when you need my I’ll be there because no one can compare you’re my sister you’re my friend forever and always til’ the end you’ve seen every part of me there’s nothing like family I hope that I can give you back the love you share with me we’ve seen highs and we’ve seen lows but that only made our love grow you bring me so much happiness you give your all and nothing less so I’ll take some tea for two anything if I’m with you grab your shoes let’s take a walk I still love you even if you steal my socks you’re so beautiful you are you so perfectly I just hope that you can see just how much you mean to me.

It’s the first day in a town so far away don’t worry things will be great well that joy came a little late in school nobody said hello she felt so hurt and nobody knows Chorus am I invisible does anyone care Is anyone there I wish that I could disappear to anywhere but here anywhere but here the snow is gone the flowers smell so strong as the bus pulls away the child asks can I play the girls say no not today will I ever be accepted why do I always feel rejected Just let go of the hurt realize how much you’re worth everyone feels alone sometimes but I’ll be your friend and you’ll be mine you’re not invisible somebody cares somebody’s there so please don’t ever disappear stay right here stay right here forever and ever just don’t give up on yourself and never no never wish that you were somebody else you’re perfect just like you.

Been sitting here for way too long trying to figure out just what went wrong and the future is so unclear I try to run but don’t get anywhere Chorus but You always get me through I must admit I havn’t got a clue I don;t get this world and I don’t get myself so I’m begging You for help G-d I’m begging you for help keep thinking the same thoughts over and over again is this the life I’m meant to live I really wish this pain would end and I keep trying but don’t get past step one and I’m always crying for some reason running in circles doesn’t get me very far I’m starting to get dizzy and can’t control this car you think I’d know by now where to take my life but the shoe never fits and nothing feels right.

It seems to me that I had the wrong picture in my mind picture in my mind and it seems to be that it’s all here everything I’m trying to find everything I’m trying to find and I know it’s never simple every choice every detail makes a difference I think I know what I’ve been missing Chorus and I’m coming back to me trying to find the truth cuz’ living in a box isn’t something that I want to do now I can see the trees and all the flowers bloom I’m paving my own way while singing my favorite tune open up the window take a deep breath and just try to let go just try to let go all of these distractions always bring me down and I can’t seem to get away can’t get up off the ground I should have listened to the voice in my heart saying be proud of who you are don’t you know you’ve come so far why do we struggle to feel like we’re worth it well I can see you and I think you’re perfect.

It’s not over until I finish this race It’s not over until I learn to embrace it seems that I keep making all of the same mistakes what will it take for me to finally find my way Chorus it’s not over until I finish this race It’s not over until I learn to embrace who I am and who I’ll be it’s not over yet for me It’s just too comfortable that it’s sad cuz’ I feel like I’m here to stay cuz’ I’ve been sitting here in this room for the past three hundred and sixty five days oh never gonna stop now oh gonna reach the top now even if I fall down a thousand times oh yeah I’ve been waiting oh I feel I’m fading but I’m never gonna give up I’ll be alright I know I’ll be just fine I hope.
