"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"
- Jaques, As You Like It Act II, scene VII


Waking in the morning
To see what you can do
But you know the truth of the matter is you just don't do enough

Yearning, churning, burning
Off to set things straight
Claiming to want things "better" without enjoying "good enough"

But here's advice you'd better learn
A way to live that life

Strive to make tomorrow better
Better and better each day
And someday soon you'll wake up knowing
That life is good enough today

Today is good enough
Today is better

Waking after the fight is done
To see what has become
Of everything that you hold dear - of the things that made you love

Yearning for an absolution
Off to get it done
Claiming all you want to do is to protect the ones you love

But here's advice you better learn
A way to live that life

Strive to make tomorrow better
Better and better each day
And someday soon you'll wake up knowing
That life is good enough today

Today is good enough
Today is better
