Not Today
Andra Day Lyrics

Rise to her knees in the morning again
She wakes up in the morning getting up to start a new day.

Giving herself to the sky
She surrenders herself to nature, seeking guidance to reach her goals.

Searching for answers to all her regrets
She tries to find a solution for all her past mistakes, wishing to make things right.

Wondering, should she even try
She hesitates and questions herself if it's worth trying again and trying to succeed.

But the hope it shines like pearls in her eyes
She has a strong belief in a brighter future, despite all her past mistakes and failures.

She asks are you giving up on me
She looks around to her supporters, questioning if they can still support her even during her tough times.

Not today, not today
She affirms not giving up on herself and her dreams today and intends to keep thriving.

'Cause love isn't through with what it started here yet, so
She believes in the power of love and hopes that it can drive her to reach her dreams.

If love isn't done, then why should we give up on it
If love has yet to give up on her or her dreams, why should she?

So ask me tomorrow, I'll tell you the same
She's confident of her determination tomorrow and will have the same spirit as today.

Tomorrow is not today
The future can't be stopped, but it can be approached with hope and determination.

His tired eyes watching all that he's built
He survey's everything he built with his life but has exhausted himself in the process.

Crumbling down to the ground
All of his success has been slipping away, leaving nothing but disappointment in its place.

Perfection is cracked and the dream starts to wilt
His idea of perfect has started falling apart or withering before his eyes.

Sure that he's failed her now
He believes that he has disappointed and failed the people he cares about.

But the hope iz shines like pearls in his eyes
He stays positive and optimistic, believing that he will be able to achieve his dreams despite the setbacks.

When he asks her are you giving in
He wonders if the people around him are going to give in, give up, or stop believing in him.

No, not today
He asserts that he won't give up today, and won't stop believing in himself and his dreams.

'Cause love isn't through with what it started here yet, so
He believes that love and hope can be a driving force behind success when directed properly.

If love isn't done, then why we give up on it
If love has yet to give up on him or his dreams, then why should he?

And I'll tell you the same
He believes that his determination and goal will remain unchanged tomorrow.

Tomorrow is not today
Tomorrow may have struggles of its own, but it is a new day to keep working at reaching one's dreams and goals.
