Today
POB and Taylor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today, today, today
I'm finally on my way
Time has come to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

The bird is on the wing
The bell is about to ring
The big girl she's about to sing

Today, today, today

The world will open wide
And I'm running with the tide
It's time to cut this side
And I must not miss my ride

Somehow I haven't died
And I feel the same inside
As when I caught this ride
When first I sold my pride

The way ahead is clear
My heart is free from fear

I'll plant my flag right here
Today, today, today
