If Today Was Perfect

[Soft Sung Intro] Mmm, mmm If today was perfect There’d be no need for tomorrow Mmm, mmm No need for tomorrow [Verse 1] Life’s been hard lately Maybe always has been I keep planting little prayers Where the ground is wearing thin I’ve had dreams go quiet I’ve had doors close slow Had to learn some flowers bloom Where the wild things grow [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know the ending But I know I’m still here With dirt on my hands And a little more clear [Chorus] If today was perfect There’d be no need for tomorrow No seed in the dirt No rain after sorrow I’m still here breathing Still learning to believe Maybe I made it through today ’Cause tomorrow needed me [Verse 2] This stage called life Still has a second act I’ve missed a few lines But grace keeps calling me back So I’ll rehearse the morning With the porch light on Let the night do its work Till the hurt moves along [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t need the whole road Just the next small piece A little bit of courage A little bit of peace [Chorus] If today was perfect There’d be no need for tomorrow No seed in the dirt No rain after sorrow I’m still here breathing Still learning to believe Maybe I made it through today ’Cause tomorrow needed me [Bridge] I am not finished I am not through Even tired wings Remember the blue I am not empty I am not gone I’m just a garden Waiting on dawn [Final Chorus - Build with subtle strings] If today was perfect There’d be no need for tomorrow No seed in the dirt No rain after sorrow I’m still here breathing Still learning to believe Maybe I made it through today ’Cause tomorrow needed me [Outro - Soft] Mmm, mmm Tomorrow needed me Mmm, mmm So I’ll rest tonight And rise softly
