Starting Today (J. Fisher)

Early one morning my heart hummed a melody
Blue as the ocean but dry as the moon
Midday you found me and added your harmony
We were like bebop by that afternoon
Late in the evening we loved like a symphony
I swore by each note we sang

Starting today I’m gonna be a better man
Gonna rope in redemption, put the reigns in my hands
Gonna start my life new, give it back to you
Starting today

Over a time, we were ambushed by apathy
I took my tune with me into the dark
Selfishly squandering our manic mystery
Each empty promise just wedged us apart
I never meant to trade love in for misery
Though I won’t beg you to stay

Starting today I’m gonna be a better man
Gonna rope in redemption, put the reigns in my hands
Gonna start my life new, give it back to you
Starting today 

Every tomorrow gets swallowed by yesterdays
Dreams become memories that fade into black
Seconds stretch out into years as they stroll away
Each moment wasted just slips through the cracks

Starting today I’m gonna be a better man
Gonna rope in redemption, put the reigns in my hands
Gonna start my life new, give it back to you
Starting today 

Starting today, I’m making every minute last
Gonna live in the present, gonna learn from my past
We’ll make the song new if we see it through
Starting today
