MAYBE TODAY Words & music Lenny Solomon

See the shades of dawning, will my will be done

Is there heaven in this morning, or is it just a rising sun

Can’t see for the distance, tomorrow, I can’t tell

I’m so tired of this resistance, there’s no more water in my well

 

River Jordan, take me away

Float me down to Charleston Bay

Can’t find words, except to say

Maybe today, maybe today

 

If not for my own blindness, maybe I could see

And feel and touch the breathe of life, flowing over me

But that’s not my story; it faded from the plan

Those feelings and emotions, trickled through my hand

 

River Jordan, take me away

Float me down to Charleston Bay

Can’t find words, except to say

Maybe today, maybe today

 

I’ve no need for sleeping, or need to be awake

Suspended animation, is ‘bout all that I can fake

So speak to me with kindness, let me know the truth

Is there wisdom in my future, or was it wasted in my youth

 

River Jordan, take me away

Float me down to Charleston Bay

Can’t find words, except to say

Maybe today, maybe today
