Starting today life will be different
I'm gonna stroll the beach soak up some sun
And dance in the pourin rain
Starting today things will be changin
I'm gonna pitch a tent and count the stars
And oh yeah by the way

I'm gonna take the time to help my neighbor shake the hand of a total stranger
Give myself to those I love and keep my faith in God above
Forget the past let it go relax breath in and take it slow
I'm gonna live my life this way starting today


Starting today I'll take the backroads
I'm gonna sit beneath a willow tree
And watch the river flow
Starting today I'm makin certain
That my family sees a lot of me
And oh yeah by the way

Take a hike and ride my bike buy some string and fly a kite
Try to catch a fish or two but that ain't all I'm gonna do
