Today (Watch Me Shine)

[Mel1:]
Yesterday is just a dream I don't remember
Tomorrow, still a hope I've yet to endure
I'm out of time
I'm out of rhyme
I'm out of reason
Season's change and leave me out in the cold.

The story's old
The tale been told by many a scholar
Got a fistful of dollar
And pocketful of love
God above if you hear me cryin'
I've tried to sell my soul
But no one's buyin'
Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'
Lord strike me down [x3]
It's gettin' cold
It's time for dyin'.

[Chorus:]
Come on and watch me shine
Like the world is mine (check it out) today
Come on and watch me shine (check it out)
Like the world is mine today
Watch me shine. (check it out)

[Mel2:]
Then the man was free from sin
Cast the first stone then began the violence
Let the man whose words ring true
Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence
Let the ones who lose their way
Live to see just one more day in the sunshine
Let the one's who choose to stray
Recognize the price they'll pay
In their lifetime
In their lifetime. [x2]

[Chorus]

[Mel3:]
Sit in the way and wait for my roads to cross
You nail me down and you watch me bleed
So lay my head against the earth
Plant my body like a seed
You can't always get the things you want, love (check it out)
You get what you deserve
Or maybe what you need
So fill my hole with precious dirt, love
Till the soil and part the weed.

[Chorus]
