Lyrics
Take your time, don't let anybody rush ya
And mind, don't let anybody push ya
Along some track you don't care to go
Along and look twice at everything you know
And if you find the world in your palm
Try not to do anybody harm
Be strong when you get into strife
Today begins the rest of your life
If you fight, only fight when you feel you ought to
Talk to people how you wanna be talked to
Respect your fathers; respect your mothers
Leave the storming of the Bastille to others
Never run or show you're scared
When the teeth and the claws are bared
Carry no gun, no club no knife
Today begins the rest of your life
All the places that you wanna see
All the books that you wanna read
The one person you wanna be
Just a leaf on your family tree
Be careful of who you follow
Finish today before you start tomorrow
And remember when you chose your wife
Today begins the rest of your life.
