Forget who you were
Who you thought you might be.
Today is out there
Go out and see.

There is a magic
A different taste to the air.
Beginning to feel that today I can deal
With whatever life can throw.
Which goes to show
We are stronger than we think.

Get outside and drink it in
Start to think
It's all alright
We got through the night
When we thought that we might not.

Today..............feels like
If I put a penny in the slot
The one armed bandit will give me the ***
Of gold.
Anticipation
The realisation that 'yes I can'
'I am the man'
The best at what I do and getting better at that too.

Today
I'm going to pay attention to detail
I'm not going to fail again
Go off the rails again
Sail off again
Go wandering in pain again.

I've forgotten who I was, it's the only way
Because
I want to move on
Get along
Make a song and dance
A little romance
My life was a game of chance or no chance
And the balance was wrong.

Getting along
Guess that is the way
To make it.
Today.
