Lyrics
Just For Today
© 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI)
Just for today
I?m gonna put my anger aside
Put a smile on my face
Treat everybody kind
It won?t be fake
It won?t be put on
When I look for that anger
It?ll be long gone
Just for today
Just for today
I?m gonna put my judgements aside
Make sure I look at me
To get that log out of my eye
I?ll take everyone
Just as they are
Treat ?em just like they
Are a Hollywood Star
Just for today
Chorus:
Just for today
I?ll love my neighbor like I love me
Just for today
Find only friends in the faces I see
Just for today
Put aside all my doubts and my fears
Just for today
I?m gonna live like we all belong here
Just for today
I?ll be the person I want to be
Just for today
I?m gonna live like I?m completely free
To make up my own mind and let be
Just for today
Just for today
I?m gonna lift my heart to the sky
Fill up on joy
Til I feel my spirit fly
I?ll share it gladly
Wherever I go
Givin that Joy
To everybody I know
Just for today
(Bridge)
Each journey begins with a single step
I?m walking, not lookin right or left
Keepin my sights on a prize so sweet
A choice each day
And I?m choosin? Peace
(Chorus)
