just for today

i do love the ellen degeneres show but this post is not about her. it's about the theme song from the tyra banks show, just for today by Grammy Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter and U.S. Ambassador for UNICEF india.arie.

nevermind the empowering lyrics. it's the first lady of acoustic soul, inspiring by "using the power of words and music to bring words music and right human relations."
AskMen.com describes her as:

Natural talent. Natural woman. Natural charm. Arie is just what we need in music today. Someone sincere and real, without pretense or shady agenda, other than to infuse our lives with some funk and soul. Who could ask for anything more? An artist like Arie reminds us that music is music and has nothing to do with physical appearance, material possessions or anything else associated with the world of floss and bling bling.

unfortunately, i can only hear the song when i watch the tyrashow. so if there's anyone out there who can point me to a site that will allow me to listen to this song for free, pls do let me know. or better yet, why not send me an mp3 if you have it?! lyrics from lyricsbox.com

Just for today, I will not worry what tomorrow may bring, no.
I'm going to try something new
Walk through this day like I got nothing to prove yeah yeah.

Although, I have the best intentions
Can't predict anyone's reactions
So I just do my best.
I put one foot in front of the other
And keep on moving forward
And let God do the rest.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

Just for today I'm telling the truth like it's going outta style
I'm going to swallow my pride, and be who I am
And I don't care who don't like it.
I feel fear but I do it anyway
I won't let it stand in the way, I know what I must do.
There's no guarantee that it'll be easy,
But I know it'll be fulling and it's time for me to sure improve.

Its ok not to know
Exploration is how we grow
Its ok to not have the answer
Cos sometimes its the question that matters

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.

I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
I don't know what's going to happen that's alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery.
