Lyrics
I woke today and I knew my plan
The sun came in and she took my hand
She led me out the door and into a land
Where today's word is love
The play is written and the role is mine
Something tells me it has to shine
Giving and sharing everywhere I find
Today's word is love
Today's word- Come and share it
Today's word- we've got to declare it
Today's word, today's word, today's word is love
Now some say there must be more
There used to be money and violence and war
Well that was a long, long time before
And today's word is love
Today's word- Come and share it
Today's word- we've got to declare it
Today's word, today's word, today's word is love
When evening comes I won't be done
Today's word is a rising sun
Today's word is the greatest one
Today's word is love
Today's word- Come and share it
Today's word- we've got to declare it
Today's word, today's word, today's word is love
Today's word- Come and share it
Today's word- we've got to declare it
Today's word, today's word, today's word is love
Today's word is love
Today's word!
