Loflied op het leven (Today is mine)

Vandaag even geen productiviteit maar een onwaarschijnlijk mooi loflied op het leven.

Tekst is van  Jerry Reed (een van de pioniers van de fingerpicking free style gitaarspelerij).

Onder de tekst een link naar de a-capella versie van een van mijn andere helden.

Today Is Mine

When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise
As its beauty struck the darkness from the skies
I thought how small and unimportant all my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day belongs to me

And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day
And all its silent beauty seemed to say:
So what, my friend, if all your dreams you haven’t realized
Look around, you got a whole new day to try

Today is mine, today is mine, to do with what I will
Today is mine. My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
And take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

With all men I curse the present that seems void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow and vision there more peace of mind
But when I view the day around me I can see the fool I’ve been
For today is the only garden we can tend

Today is mine, today is mine, to do with what I will
Today is mine. My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
And take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

In de versie van Tommy Emmanuel.
