today is the day

(verse 1)

stop it, stop it,

You're being such a fool,

don't you remember,

The things you learned in school,

You're just a monkey,

and death brings nothing

(chorus)

today is the day,

I'm breaking free,

I really don't care,

what they think of me,

cuz this is my life,

and this is my time

my time to shine

(verse 2(

bad sheep, black sheep,

You're completely out of line,

believing in this nonsense,

have you lost your mind,

there's no such thing,

as your Shepherd King

(chorus)

today is the day,

I'm breaking free,

I really don't care,

what they think of me,

cuz this is my life,

and this is my time

my time to shine

(verse 3)

I panic, I'm manic,

You've completely offended me,

with your words of hope and grace,

superstitions can't you see,

be silent I pray,

now please go away

(chorus)

today is the day,

I'm breaking free,

I really don't care,

what they think of me,

cuz this is my life,

and this is my time

my time to shine

(verse 4)

I'm free, I'm free,

It's time you listened to me,

a slave is kept in darkness,

with eyes that do not see,

my king breaks the chains,

and removes the stains

and he is the light,

by which we see

(chorus)

today is the day,

I'm breaking free,

I really don't care,

what they think of me,

cuz this is my life,

and this is my time

my time to shine

(chorus)

today is the day,

I'm breaking free,

I really don't care,

what they think of me,

cuz this is my life,

and this is my time

my time to shine
