The alarm clock didn't go off
and I was in such a panic.
I thought I can't afford to miss work
and what would they all think.
I called in and said I was sick.
I worried because I didn't want to lose my job.
I know it will set me behind
and I will pay for it later
but then I thought today is for me.
Today is for me
and all I have been through.
Today is for me
and all those things
I need to get done.
Today is for me
because it is my life
and not theirs.
Today is for me
because I have a say
in my destiny.
Tomorrow might be different
and I might catch hell
but today is for me.
