today i had no money
i had no clothes to keep me warm
the rain fell hard
today
tomorrow it may snow.
i have no roof above my head
so if it does, i’ll know.
today i was thirsty
today i had no water
last night i wished the rain
would stop
right now, i want it
back again.
right now i wish the rain
would come
and wash this world from sin.
today i had a hunger,
one to beg for, one to plea.
and right now i need something
that everybody needs.
today i want but one thing
one to hope for, one to give
today and tomorrow and every day,
i want a day to live.
