<poem>Today is the day | |||
That I'll turn off my cell and I | |||
Won't tweet, won't log into Facebook | |||
If you want to talk to me you can come over | |||
The door is wide open and I | |||
Won't have the TV on | |||
No video games, no videophone | |||
'Cause it's finally time | |||
To leave all that behind and | |||
Start getting it right | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
It's a beautiful day | |||
I'm gonna open up the window | |||
And feel the wind blow | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
Soakin' up the sun | |||
Out there having fun | |||
Do whatever I like | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life (Gonna live it, baby) | |||
Today is the day | |||
That I won't make any plans | |||
'Cause serendipity is ??? | |||
Jump off into the unknown | |||
Talk to strangers and have my mind blown | |||
Without a parachute | |||
Go streakin' in the nude | |||
And if you don't like it | |||
I think you should try it | |||
We don't have to be prudes | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
It's a beautiful day | |||
I'm gonna open up the window | |||
And feel the wind blow | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
Soakin' up the sun | |||
Out there having fun | |||
Do whatever I like | |||
This life is all that we got | |||
So let's live it up | |||
No time to waste it away | |||
Stop playin' it safe | |||
Let's live for the day | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
It's a beautiful day | |||
I'm gonna open up the window | |||
And feel the wind blow | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
Soakin' up the sun | |||
Out there having fun | |||
Do whatever I like | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
I'm gonna live my life | |||
Today is the day</poem> | |||
