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.
