Lyrics

Starting Today

Sometimes it feels like I'm missing out on living my life
Logging in and nodding off, staring at my TV
The only folks I get to know are on some reality show
Couldn't tell you the names of the neighbors living right next to me
I've been all wrapped-up in my cocoon
But a different me is coming out soon

Starting today, I'm sitting out on my front porch
I'm gonna take a walk, play some ball with the kids that live next door
I'm making a change, gonna let my light shine through
I'll share a joke and laugh out loud
Learn to live in the here and now
Starting today

Every time I walk through town, my guard goes up, 'n my head stays down
A hundred people pass me by, but our eyes never meet
Been this way way too long - living life with blinders on
It's time I took 'em off, cause there's a wonderful world that I wanna see
Maybe it's true what mama says
A stranger's just a friend you haven't met

Starting today, I'm gonna smile and say hello
I'm gonna hold a door open for somebody I don't know
I'm making a change, gonna let my light shine through
Have a little heart and lend a hand
Take the time to give a damn
Starting today

If I could wave a magic wand
Everyone would join along
Feel the love and pass it on (pass it on, pass it on, pass it on)

Starting today, I'm sitting out on my front porch
I'm gonna take a walk, play some ball with the kids that live next door
I'm making a change, gonna let my light shine through
Starting today, I'm gonna smile and say hello
I'm gonna hold a door open for somebody I don't know
I'm making a change, gonna let my light shine through
Starting today
