Started as a poem written on a plane, being worked into a song.
          Maybe it's Today!

On the spur of the moment I ended up back here
With no money, in the middle of the night
This is my last chance, time to put away the fear
Or I stand a chance of losing this long fight

The hole I dug myself getting deeper every day
Seems I've lost the will to carry myself tall
But for them I crawl on in the weakest sort of way
Still moving when I stand and fall

The smile in their voices when they get to talk to Dad
Takes away the pain of being far away
And even though it's every night, they know that it's not right
Whens he coming, Maybe it's today

To get back where I was, I gotta sacrifice some things
All the things for which I care
So with a teardrop in my eye, I took off the sky
Already dreaming of when I'll get back there

So I'll struggle every day and fight in every way
And than one day soon I'll be back in their lives
I can only hope and pray that when I reach that day
I'll still be daddy in their eyes
