Today (Watch Me Shine)

Yesterday, just a dream I don't remember

Tomorrow, still a hope I've yet to endure

I'm out of time, I'm out of rhyme, I'm out of reason

Seasons change and leave me out in the cold

Story's old, tale's been told by many scholar

Got fist full of dollars, and a pocket full of love

God above, if you hear me crying

Tried to sell my soul but no one's buying

Lord, strike me down now, if I'm lying

It's getting cold, it's time for dying

[Chorus]

Come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine

Today, come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine

Today, watch me shine

Let man who's free from sin

Cast the first stone and begin the violence

Let man whose words ring true

Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence

Let the one's who lose their way

Live to see just one more day in the sunshine

Let the one's who chose to stray

Recognize the price they'll pay in their lifetime

[Chorus]

Sitting here, waiting for my roads to cross

You nailed me down and you watched me bleed

So lay my head against the earth

Plant my body like a seed

You can't always get the things you want, love

Get what you deserve and maybe what you need

So fill my hole with precious dirt, love

Turn the soil and plot the weed

[Chorus]
