If Today If you planted hope today In any hopeless heart If someone's burden was lighter Because you did your part, If you caused a laugh That chased some tears away If tonight your name is named When someone kneels to pray Then your day has been well spent.

Today and Tonight
Today you have long day.
Tonight you have long night.
Today you have something to do.
Tonight you have done something.
Today you don't know why.
Tonight you knew why.
Today you face the shine.
Tonight you face the dark.
Today you holding on.
Tonight you missing.
Today you drive along the way.
Tonight you drive yourself crazy.
Today you should love.
Tonight you shouldn't love.
Today you thought you see nothing.
Tonight you thought you'd seen everything.
Today you are somebody.
Tonight you are shadow.
Today you are lazy lover.
Tonight you are dream lover.
Today you are in real world.
Tonight you are in secret world.
Today you wish.
Tonight you would.
Today you want someone you like.
Tonight you want your love.
Today you have the sun.
Tonight you have the stars.
Today let it flow like no tomorrow.
Tonight let it be sweet memories.
Last Card
Today
I died
A thousand deaths
Today
The world
Stops spinning
Today
My heart bleeds
In crucial pain
Today
I lost
My last card
Today
I cried
My last tears
Today
I heard
My last voice
Today
I sang
My last song
Today
My last hope
Ceased to dwell
Today
I mourned
My own funeral

Starting Today
(words & music by robertson)
Starting today
Im teaching my heart
Not to ache anymore
Just cause were apart
No more will I dream
Of your sweet loving ways
Gonna learn to forget you
Starting today
And when memories haunt me
And the tears starts to flow
Ill just think of the sorrow
You caused me to know
No more for the past
To return will I pray
Gonna live for tomorrow
Starting today

Old Before I Die
She's taking me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say
I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
She's not feeling stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beating faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days we're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay
I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to see the day
The pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say

Tommorrow
I hope tomorrow won't come
I want this night to last forever
If i were to die tomorrow
Then i would have wished i have more of today
less of tomorrow
Does it have to come
It could stay today forever you know...
I will just do the same thing over and over and over
it could work right
i love today not tomorrow
i guess tomorrow would end up turnng into today
i will move on until today
okay
live laugh and love
hope laugh and cry
through the days
It will be today will
but it will still never be tomorrow

Today is better than Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday, I was running with to feet
Yesterday, I was playing with kids
Yesterday, I was kicking the ball
Yesterday, I had it all, all was mine.
Yesterday, I was growing well,
Yesterday, I had it all undercover
Yesterday was my day
Yesterday, my days were
Yesterday, I had a lover, ‘true lover’
Yesterday, promises were made
Yesterday, promises were not kept
Yesterday, I was happy.
Yesterday, I gave him everything
Yesterday, I sacrificed everything
Yesterday, I was a fool
Yesterday, I was dying
Today
Today, I am lying in bed
Today, I am watching hopeless kids
Today, I can hardly move
Today, everything is falling
Today, I am dying in bed
Today, it is all wrong
Today, is not my day
Today, my days are not
Today, I have no one
Today, promises are broken
Today, promises are not
Today, I have no hope
Today, I long for myself
Today, I cry over spilled milk
Today, I am wise
Today, I live
Whatever happened yesterday is not
Whatever was, is not
Whatever was broken can be fixed
Whatever wound are, can be healed
Just need the Perfect Healer
Jesus I know you are! ! !

Today, Tonight
Today I was in denial
Tonight I felt lost
Today I liked you
Tonight it's so much more
Today I thought you were weird
Tonight its different
Today I didn't want to believe
Tonight it's not so sweet
Today I thought about you
Tonight I freaked out
Today I liked you
Tonight I love you

Y.... Hope
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough food
Not too much
Just enough
No more hunger
No more obesity
Let‘s start to work for this today…
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough clean water
To drink
Or orange juice
No more thirst
No more drunkenness
Let‘s start to work for this today…
There is hope
That one day
We'll all have enough
Enough love
Not the ego love
Enough soul love
No more heart aches
No more needless hurts
Let's start to work for it today…
There is hope
That one time
We'll all have enough
Enough wisdom
Enough for a healthy laugh
Wisdom for a sincere tear
No more arrogance
No more money blindness
Let's start to work for it today…
Let us start today
A kindness revolution
The biggest revolution
Ever
Let's all hope together
And work for it today.

Love Is Pain
Today is the day I wipe my tears,
Today is the day I end all fears,
As I grab the gun the bullet flys,
I have now commited suicide,
As tears fall from the faces of family and friends,
My soul winds and bends,
Up to the heavens above,
For you I will always think of,
Your the cause of all my pain,
So don't complain,
Your love is what tore me apart,
I guess you really don't have a heart,
Love will make you die inside,
Love is the slowest form of suicide,
The more you love the more you cry,
The more you cry the more you die,
You caused my tears,
You caused my fears,
Now that I'm gone,
How will you live on,
Will you understand what I feel inside,
Will you understand you caused my suicide,
You live your life in regret,
Hoping you will soon forget....

Let It Go
Ever felt this way
That's okay
Because this day
It too shall pass away
What makes your joy to stray
What makes your heart to say
I want my life to end today
Did your lover ask you to stay
Or ask you to find you way
Don't cry your heart away
This too shall pass someday
What do you need but lack always
Do your desires oft seem to fly away
What aches your heart and numbs your days
Did the ones you love die and turn to clay
Hope is nothing some do say
But I tell you this as I run in rain to play
That whatever happens come what may
Hope is what gives your life its days
Let go of pain, of guilt, of hurt, and yesterday
You'll feel lighter, trust me when I say
When in time your hairs are gray
And you unwrap the beauty of your life in a memory play
Look behind and find this poem and pray
That God blesses the poet who told you this that day
That what is today is not what will be alway.

Today; Tomorrow
Today
It’s been five years since I have heard your voice.
Today
It’s been five years since I have heard your laugh.
Today
It’s been five years since I have seen your smile.
Today
Is the saddest day for me.
Today
I still remember like it was yesterday.
Today
I feel numb just like how I felt five years ago.
Today
I can still remember how I ran and didn’t want to stop.
Today
I still feel the emptiness of knowing I won’t ever see you again.
Today
I try and smile for you knowing that you are watching over me.
Today
I let my tears roll down slowly down my cheeks.
Today
I remember how you were so happy to be home.
Today
I still know that you didn’t have to suffer no more.
Today
I still try hard not to blame myself why you left my world.
Today
I sit here and remember the memories I have of you.
But tomorrow
I will still smile for you.

Sad woman
If I could open my mouth to say
About what I keep inside of me,
As this white lily, that blooms today
And without the sun it cannot be.
Maybe I would know you would not come,
And no longer would I wait for you.
For you I wanted to have a home
And for you was all I tried to do.
How can I cope with sadness at night?
You had to follow your weary way.
My heart, once singing its songs of light,
Buries in melancholy, today.
I swim in my ocean of darkness.
I pray in my solitude, I'm pure.
I wait you, but my life means hopeless
And a thousand tears to endure.

For my Loved
Starting today,
I will write for you
I'll pray for you
I'll do that for your recovery
I'll manage to offer
everything for you
Starting today,
I'll care more about you
I'll ask all the angels
and saints to be with you
in all your sufferings
Starting today,
I'll tell them that
I care a lot about you
and I'm willing
to give-up everything
just for you, my dear
So starting today
be able to hold on to
that hope in your heart
and cling to whatever joy
you can have
Don't hesitate
I'm just here for you
for you are special
here in my heart

Madison
Maddison ….. Child of a valiant warrior.
Spiritual Connotation… Brave.
Scripture … Luke 18: 27 'The things that are impossible with men are possible with God'.
Thank Lord for the blessing of this day,
Today you brought little Maddison my way.
The sun when it shines, shines brighter,
And worries just a little lighter.
Because Maddison is part of my day.
I would live to see your first smile,
And dress in mummy's shoes, such style!
Your first day at school, with its fears,
Not to forget mummies tears.
Because Maddison is part of my day,
I will be there to wipe your tears away,
And cheer you in times of dismay.
When you need a strong hand,
One to hold, I'll be there as God planned.
Because Maddison is part of my day.
I will often pray for God's will for you,
As I know He will see you through.
Your parents love you with all their might
But Gods love for you, is beyond our sight.
I Met Her Today
(words & music by robertson - blair)
I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you
Youll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
Ive met her today
I used to think I just couldnt live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through
All at once I dont care as much for you
Im sorry to say
For now theres another
I met her today
How I treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you neednt be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again
Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me my angel
I met her today
I met her today
