Today
YAEL NAIM & David Donatien Lyrics

today i'm looking at the world
Yael Naim is observing the world around her in the present moment.

and i see ugliness and beauty
She notices both negative and positive aspects of the world.

neighbours
The people around her are diverse and complex.

an angel lives inside a liar
Even those who seem dishonest or untrustworthy may have positive qualities.

and he doesn't even know
Some people may not even be aware of their own capabilities or virtues.

that he has all this inside him
Every individual has the potential for good and bad within them.

it's been seven years since i've been looking for
Yael Naim has been searching for something for a long time.

and i was crying for more
Her search has been emotional and intense.

today i'm taking back my words
She regrets judging people too quickly and wants to make a change.

’cause i've been judging everybody
She acknowledges her own tendency to judge others without knowing them fully.

instead, i show you who i am
She wants to reveal her true self to others.

a liar, an angel, a generous egoist genius
She recognizes that she has a mix of positive and negative qualities.

coward
She also acknowledges her own fears and failings.

today i'm looking at our world
Yael Naim is again observing the world around her in the present moment.

and i think choices are everywhere
She believes that there are endless possibilities and opportunities in life.

every second
Time is constantly moving forward and we make choices in every moment.

we choose to love, choose to hate
Our emotions and actions are based on our own choices.

choose to lose or win
We can either accept defeat or strive for success.

to take a risk or to give up
We can either take a chance on something or let it go.

'cause it's been seven years since i've been looking for
Her search for something has continued for a long time.

and i was crying for more
This search has brought her a lot of pain and longing.

today i'm celebrating our insanity
She is embracing the unpredictable and illogical nature of life and humanity.

’cause we are loving unreasonably
Even when it doesn't make logical sense, we can still choose to love.

we lost our hold
We have let go of control and embraced the unknown.

no promises
Nothing is guaranteed in life.

no signs of where to go
Direction and purpose are not always clear.

just a pure moment of joy
Despite the uncertainty, there can still be moments of happiness and contentment.

it's been seven years since i've been looking for
The same search continues, even after all this time.

i was crying for more
She still longs for something greater, even as she seeks to embrace the present moment.
