[INTRO — upbeat drums, chopped acoustic guitar, playful vocal ad-libs] Yeah Everybody's chasing something Everybody's got a someday But what if someday Is stealing today? [VERSE 1 — rhythmic pop-rap] I keep saying, “When I get there” “When I have a little more” “When I finally get my life The way I've been waiting for” But the clock don't stop And the years don't slow And the things I thought would last Keep letting go Ecclesiastes hit me Like, “Wake up, man” You don't get forever So remember who you are Yeah, enjoy the life But don't forget the Giver You got breath in your lungs So don't waste it chasing glitter [PRE-CHORUS — building] Teach me to count these days Before they disappear Fill me with Your mercy While I'm still standing here [CHORUS — huge, simple, singable] DON'T WASTE TODAY Don't throw it away Yesterday is gone Tomorrow can wait DON'T WASTE TODAY I've got breath, I've got grace While I have this moment I'm gonna give You this day DON'T WASTE TODAY No, I don't wanna sleepwalk through it DON'T WASTE TODAY I wanna wake up and live it You gave me this moment So I'm giving it back DON'T WASTE TODAY [VERSE 2 — rhythmic, more intense] Then Jesus starts talking And everybody's amazed Miracles in front of them Glory filling the place Then He says, “Listen closely The Son of Man will be handed over” And they couldn't understand it So they didn't ask Him further And that's me sometimes I want the victory scene But I don't wanna hear What discipleship means I want resurrection Without sitting with the cross I want Jesus as the answer But I don't wanna count the cost [PRE-CHORUS] So when I don't understand Don't let me walk away Give me enough faith To follow You anyway [CHORUS] DON'T WASTE TODAY Don't throw it away Yesterday is gone Tomorrow can wait DON'T WASTE TODAY I've got breath, I've got grace While I have this moment I'm gonna give You this day DON'T WASTE TODAY No, I don't wanna sleepwalk through it DON'T WASTE TODAY I wanna wake up and live it You gave me this moment So I'm giving it back DON'T WASTE TODAY [BRIDGE — half-time, call-and-response] [LEAD] Remember your Creator! [GANG] Right now! [LEAD] Don't wait till you're older! [GANG] Right now! [LEAD] Don't wait till you've got it figured out! [GANG] RIGHT NOW! [ALL] I don't need to know How every chapter ends I just need to know The One who's holding it! [BREAK — drums cut] Teach me to number my days… [DRUMS RETURN] And make my days count. [FINAL CHORUS — biggest section] DON'T WASTE TODAY Don't throw it away Yesterday is gone Tomorrow can wait DON'T WASTE TODAY I've got breath, I've got grace While I have this moment I'm gonna give You this day DON'T WASTE TODAY I don't wanna miss You in the middle DON'T WASTE TODAY I wanna wake up and live it You gave me this moment So I'm giving it back My life is a gift And I'm giving it back DON'T WASTE TODAY! [OUTRO — acoustic riff, vocal ad-libs] Yesterday's gone. Tomorrow can wait. I've got today.
