Today Is All We Have
words & music
O. Akram/P. Rafelson

V1
In the dark of the night
You forget about your dreams
But your heart shines a light
Like a candle in the rain

Pre1
Destiny calls your name
But the time fades away

CHORUS
Reach the stars and touch the sky
Standing on a mountain high
Spead your wings and learn to fly
No one knows what tomorrow holds
Yesterday was just a dream
Today is all we have

V2
A child is born with an open heart an open mind
But in this world we all can lose our way

The day to day can make you old
And take your soul
But hope will always make you feel alive

Pre2
Destiny calls your name
But the time fades away

CHORUS
Reach the stars and touch the sky
Standing on a mountain high
Spead your wings and learn to fly
No one knows what tomorrow holds
Yesterday was just a dream
Today is all we have

Bridge
Nothing lasts forever
But there’s the voice in your heart
Calling out your name
The world is ours together
And love is the only thing we need
