Just For Today

I hold my head high
take control of this life
that's starting to fray
just for today.
Yesterday's gone
so I keep standing strong
in my faith I will stay
just for today.

If I never see tomorrow
I've done what I should
Kept my head above water
did all that I could 
to make it some way
just for today.

Can't waste no more time
have to take what is mine
cast my sorrow away
just for today.
I'll never give in
and fight to the win
so I'll be okay
just for today.

If I see tomorrow 
I've done all I could
To prove I can make it
like I knew I would
come what may
and call it today.
