Just For Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just for today, I will not worry what tomorrow will bring, no (no)
I'm gonna try something new and walk through this day
Like I've got nothing to prove, yeah (yeah)
Although, I have the best intentions
Can't predict anyone's reactions
So I just do my best
I put one foot in front of the other
Keep on movin' forward
And let God do the rest, hey
I don't know what's gonna happen, that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don't know what's gonna happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
Just for today I'm tellin' the truth like it's goin' outta style, yeah
I'm gonna swallow my pride, and be who I am
And I don't care who don't like, yeah
I feel fear but I do it anyway
I won't let it stand in the way
I know what I must do, yeah
There's no guarantee that it'll be easy
But I know that it'll be fulfilling
And it's time for me to sure improve, yeah, yeah
It's ok not to know
Exploration Is how we grow
It's ok to not have the answer
'Cause sometimes it's the question that matters, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know what's gonna happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don't know what's gonna happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
