Lyrics
It Happened Today (feat. Eddie Vedder e Joel Gibb)
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.
This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing
Yes I will rhyme that, after
After all I've done today
I have earned my wings
It happened today
Hooray!
Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
We'll leave the allegory to another Bible story
Out of deference, defiance and choice
Closing on a promise, after
After all I've done today
I have earned my voice
It happened today
Hooray!
Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
