WHY NOT TODAY

Song lyrics by Joel Sattler

Based on the poem TODAY by Thomas Carlyle


So here dawns
another blue blue day
Do with it what you can
Why not today

new day born
Another red sky morn
Don't let it slip away
Why not today

I was alone on the road to infinity
Looking for something approaching divinity
And I looked up to the sky
And I had to cry

Nobody knows when the ending will come to you
Just keep on walking that is all that you can do
And listen to what the wind tries to say
Why not today

Tomorrow was only a dream
Yesterday not what it seemed
Only the moment can mean
Anything you want it to be

Out of eternity
Into eternity
when night burns
It will return

No eye did
And from no eye hid
See it ahead of time
Forever is

Why not today
why not today
yesterday’s over and done
and gone on its way
why not today
why not today
tomorrow is still going to come
no matter whatever you say
So why not today

Original version:

"Today"

by Thomas Carlyle

So here hath been dawning
Another blue Day:
Think wilt thou let it
Slip useless away.

Out of Eternity
This new Day is born;
Into Eternity,
At night, will return.

Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did:
So soon it forever
From all eyes is hid.

Here hath been dawning
Another blue Day:
Think wilt thou let it
Slip useless away.
