[Verse 1]
Don't look now but there's another rocky road
Another heavy "Why?" of the much too heavy, heavy load
But today I'm going to face it, yeah, 'cause I'm sick of dealing any other way
Nobody said the race was fair but I'm going to keep running just the same

[Chorus]
Today, today is the first day of the rest of my life

[Verse 2]
Don't look now but here comes another heartbreak
Benefit of the doubt I'll give it, control of my life I've got to take
'Cause I'm alive and that's reason enough for me to bust a smile
I have arrived and now I want to stay for a little while

[Chorus]
Today, today is the first day of the rest of my life
Let's go

[Chorus]
Today, today is the first day of the rest of my life
Today, today is the first day of the rest of my life
