...And That Was Just Today

©2014 David Moody

I’ve seen the sun go gliding

Across the skies

And saw it slowly sliding behind the horizon

Never even doubting that it would be rising

On another day

I saw my life flash by

In the wink of an eye

And dreams of milk and honey in the sweet by-and-by

When I realized I’d been so unwise, and had to

Find another way

And that was just today

I swore I’d be a real go-getter

It was just today

I vowed to make life so much better

It was just today

I would ring in the good, rule out the bad

Put a heartfelt smile on a face gone sad

Make someone’s day the best they ever had

…And that was just today

I heard the angels singing

In the room upstairs

Heard the church bells ringing like someone really cares

That there was no time left to make the needed repairs

On another day

I saw a world in pain from a loss of faith

Put my heart and soul into fixing the place

While everybody’s losing this human race

Because they all lost their way

…And that was just today
