Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey hey hey hey

Today, I'm hungry and I'm ready for change
I run too far to still be the same
See who I was I give him away
Today
Today, No longer bound by what people say
I know that I will make mistakes
I thought that I refuse to stay
Today

I've been waiting all my life to get to the door
And now it's time to help someone see they're alive for so much more

(Today we goin')
Help somebody
Heal somebody (we goin')
Free somebody (eh)
Forgive somebody (today we goin')
Touch somebody
Love somebody (we goin')
Kiss somebody
Let go of somebody

Today, I see the hurt upon your face
Thinking how much more of this can I take
In a minute I'm about to break
Today
See the pain has purpose sole of going away
There's a harvest if you'll only wait
Don't walk out now I need you to stay
Today

Though you've never felt winds blow like this before
But if what you see is all you see you will miss this so much more

(Today we goin')
Help somebody (we goin')
Heal somebody
Free somebody (hey)
Forgive somebody (today we goin')
Touch somebody
Love somebody
Kiss somebody
Let go of somebody

Today (eh we goin' live our lives)
Today (we can't waste no more time)
Today (we not looking back no more)
Today (yeah)
(let, let, let, let's go)

Hey hey hey hey
(Louder ya'll)
Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey
(Just a little bit louder ya'll)

Hey hey hey hey
Today, oh whoa, today

Yeah today yeah
Hey hey hey hey
Today, yeah
Hey hey hey hey
Today, oh yeah yeah yeah
Hey hey hey hey
Today

Today, I think I feel the wind, the change
Think I feel my last drop of rain
I believe I'm gonna be OK
Today
See today, (Today) I'm still here because of my faith (my faith)
I believe that Jesus still is the way
I said His name 'cause I'm not afraid
Today
