Today's the day
I hear them say
Things r gonna change
Today

I walked out into the sunlight
not looking for trouble
not looking for a fight

I saw some kids flying some kites
running with their dogs
who were running
out of sight

the grass was mighty green
and the trees had taken
to leaf
next week it's Midsummer
and around here
the sun will be at its peak

there's a mess down in Louisiana
down the Bayou way
and they need some relief
the people down there
are looking for a
politician, a leader
with some teeth

How's it gonna end
there's a lot to mend
and folks need the money
provided by the devil to spend
to knit their lives together
and find the right message to send
to Washington, London and Riyadh
Paris, Beijing and Cape Cod

just to name a few

the birds and the fish and
the turtles and other creatures
of the air, the land and the
sea have had
a bit too much human weather recently

And we've got to get together
I know you've heard that before
but the truth is
no matter what we imagine
we have to do more
to get our planet, to get ourselves healed
before our fate is sealed

Today's the day
I hear them say
Things r gonna
change
Today

Y'all Come and see

Cause It's Starting...

Yes, It's Starting...with Me
