today

• standing in the doorway
  of my life in this house
  trying to find a way to get out
  looking for a sign
  that i should open the door
  this craziness is getting me down
  
  but today is the day
  we break free
  
  walking down the stairway
  to the traffic below
  anything could happen
  i know
  but i'm sick of everybody
  telling me what to do
  i hear you
  hey but i already know
  
  and today is the day
  we break free
  
  it's clear in my mind
  after all of this time
  what i feel my love
  
  there are so many times
  that the sun doesn't shine
  but i'm here my love
  
  and today is the day
  
  maybe i should wait
  just a minute or two
  it's getting cold now
  i feel so insecure
  
  the future is a mistress
  that is so hard to please
  and the past
  is a pebble in my shoe^*
