Today

Story Behind The Song

We were lucky to have met a wonderful girl (Amy Griffith) who followed our band. She was more full of life, music and dancing than anybody we'd ever known before. In something that would test our faith now and always, she succumbed to cancer at age 25. Loved and missed, but her spirit lives on -

Lyrics

Breathe it in - inhale the morning and exhale the night
Take it in - see it and taste it, enjoy this life
I wonder how much time has been wasted, it's anyones guess
Spending days with replays of yesterday's mess or success

There are dances to be danced, music to be played
Memories are yet to be made

This is today - remember there is only only one
This is today, this is right now - don't worry about tomorrow
This is today, this is your time - once it's gone, it's gone
This is today, this is right now, this is your time

My friend Amy had a permanent smile and blue-grey eyes
They found cancer all through her body, she was 25
God called her home, after she was through teaching us strength, beauty and grace
Celebrate this gift of our life and time in this place

Bridge and chorus

There is a difference between breathing and living
There's a difference between breathing and living
There is a whole world between your heart simply beating and being alive

It's a one day, one day only blowout sale
It's one day, one day only you must act now (repeat)
This is today

Chorus

This is your time, this is right now, this is today.
