lyrics

Today
©2000 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

I was born
With the sun in my eyes
When the lights went out
This world's a rude surprise
I was born
Halfway underground
But I loved my arms
They'll never let me down

I had dreams
I had dreams
I had dreams
And they all came true today

We were made
Of smoke and dust
Why weren't we made
Of stronger stuff
Why weren't we made
Of glass and steel
Then we couldn't bend
Then we couldn't feel

I had dreams
I had dreams
I had dreams
And they all came true today

CHORUS
When you smiled in my direction
All of the words I've been stumbling on
When you smiled in my direction
Form a line, make the sweetest sound
Of the dove

You are mine
You are mine
You're my shooting star
My funny valentine
I am yours
All through the night
I'll mend you when you tear
Make you come out right

I had dreams
I had dreams
I had dreams
And they all came true today
I had dreams
I had dreams
I had dreams
And they all came true today

CHORUS

When you smiled in my direction
My feet never gonna touch the ground again
