Looking back on all the years gone by, How quickly time can slip away, Pictures of a child, impatient and confused, The passion and the pain of tender youth. Today, I know who I am, Today, I'm a peaceful man, Today, I can understand the things of yesterday, And now I find my strength in truth, And all...and all because of you, And now the best thing I can do is to clearly say I'm thankful for today. I may never have great wealth or fame, Don't want that false security, no, I won't waste my time in some elusive chase, I'd rather know the riches of God's grace, whoa. Today, I know who I am, Today, I'm a peaceful man, Today, I can understand the things of yesterday, And now I find my strength in truth, And all...and all because of you, And now the best thing I can do is to clearly say I'm thankful for today, whoa. Today, I know who I am, Today, I'm a peaceful man, Today, I can understand the things of yesterday, And now I find my strength in truth, And all...and all because of you, And now the best thing I can do is to clearly say I'm thankful for today, whoa. Today, Today, Today, I finally understand the things of yesterday.
