Today is the day. not tomorrow.
II hand should be given
Some traveller. in need,
Today is the day. not tomorrow.
II we're ever intending
To do such a deed,
Today is the day, not tomorrow,
II we truly expect
To remember a friend
With the smile we could give,
Or the flower We could send,
Why wait until death
Brings their grief to an end?
Today is the day, not tomorrow.
