[Verse 1]
The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now
I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away
What about, yes
What about today?

[Verse 2]
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine someday
And when it does
The weather will be fine someday
But while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay that same shade of gray
What about, yes
What about today?

[Bridge]
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til Messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about, yes
What about today?
[Verse 3]
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for
If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?

[Bridge]
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til Messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about, yes
What about today?

[Verse 3]
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for
If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
None of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?
What about, yes
What about today?
