New Song: Today

Een brand new song gebaseerd op een oud gedicht van Nixon Waterman (1906). Ook al is de tekst dan al ruim een eeuw oud, de boodschap is tijdloos. Centrale vraag: “What have we done today?

“Today” is in 2020 opgenomen door Pieter Tak met Tak&Band en verschenen op de diverse streamingdiensten.

Songtekst Today – N. Waterman

We shall do so much in the years to come,
 but what have we done today?
 We shall give our gold in a princely sum
 but what did we give today?
 
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
 We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
 We shall speak the words of love and cheer
 but what did we speak today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall be so kind in the afterwhile,
 but what have we been today?
 We shall bring each lonely life a smile,
 but what have we brought today?
 We shall give to truth a grander birth,
 And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
 We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,
 but whom have we fed today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
 but what have we sown today?
 We shall build a mansion in the sky,
 but what have we built today?
 What have we done today
 
We shall do so much in the years to come,
 but what have we done today?
 We shall give our gold in a princely sum
 but what did we give today?
 ‘Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask,
 but here and now do we do our task?
 Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,
 “What have we done today?”
 
What have we done today
