michael kooman and christopher dimond – welcome to today lyrics
[spoken intro]
howard barnes was a curious case. in many ways, he seemed to be a perfectly average american male. he liked organized sports and grilling things and the movies of steve martin. but beneath the surface, howard was in crisis. for like too many men of his generation, howard barnes had forgotten how to feel. and so, howard closed himself off and drifted through life, numb to the wonders of the world around him. that is, until the day when a higher power interveined!
[verse 1, spoken]
-ah! what in the world?
-hey there, howard!
-good lord!
-oh, isn’t it a beautiful morning?
-how did you get in here?!
-look, nevermind that! take a look outside. there is a big, bright beautiful world out there!
[sung]
-have you seen a more perfect morning
[spoken]
-oh. my. god!
[sung]
-wonders waiting to be unfurled
[spoken]
-are you, um, singing?!
[sung]
-joy then hits you without a warning
once you open your heart up to the world!
(ah…)
[verse 2, spoken]
-what the h-ll is happening?!
[sung]
-howard, all of the birds are tweeting
as the b-tterflies flutter by
[spoken]
-please stop!
[sung]
they are sending their warmest greeting
see the rainbow, embrace the clear blue sky!
see the bumblebees zipping, zooming?
i think i know what their buzzing means!
they say: “look at the blossoms blooming
on both of the trees that grow in queens!”
howard, the dawn is breaking
watch as the darkness
fades to gray!
there is a new world waking
waiting to say… (to say!)
welcome to today!
[verse 3, spoken]
-this cannot be happening
[sung]
-hear the heart of the city beat
(hear it beat!)
keeping time for the human race!
(human race!)
take a look at that guy eating
shoving bacon
into his fat guy face!
homeless people who haven’t showered
(smell like poo)
since the summer of ’92
what a beautiful morning, howard!
none of them have exposed themselves to you!
howard, the day’s beginning
the sun has arrived, it’s here to stay!
howard, the world is grinning
giddy and g-y!
welcome to today!
[verse 4, spoken]
-any minute now, i’ll be waking up and all of this would have been a-
[sung]
(howard!)
-anything can happen
(howard!)
on this magical day!
(howard!)
don’t just sit there nappin’
carpe diem, diem why!
welcome to today!
[verse 5]
now you’re cruising beneath manhattan
oh, what wonders may come to be?
there’s a chance that the seat you’ve sat in
was covered in s-m-n, blood or pee!
how would your life be starting?
don’t miss the chance to seize the day!
sorrow is swiftly parting
howard, hey!
[chorus]
welcome to today!
it’s tomorrow’s yesterday
but when today is tomorrow, it’s tomorrow’s today
you cannot waste today on tomorrow’s today
or on yesterday’s tomorrow’s yesterday
you gotta take today for today’s today
before tomorrow is yesterday
so howard, oh, howard
welcome to today! (welcome to today!)
welcome to today! (today!)
