Start Today

(Alex Lifeson)
I need you to hold me tightly in your arms
I need you to show me if I might be wrong
I am pink and you are blue
Can I trust my whole life to you ?
Just don't take me for some fool
When I need to depend on you
I am not your part time job
What you get is what you are
You can hurt like no one can
You're such a child for such a man
You need strenght, you need to take a stand
Just stop looking to me for a helping hand
When you're ready I will be here
I can help you lose your fear
You better stand up on your feet
If you ever want to feel my heat
Clear your mind of those things gone by
You can't change the past, why even try
You can build upon all you've learned
You can start today
No one said it wouldn't be this hard
When you share, prepare to give a lot
Just remember when you look at me
You are you and I am me
When you're ready I will be here
I can help you lose your fear
You better stand up on your feet
If you ever want to feel my heat
Clear your mind of those things gone by
You can't change the past, why even try
Look ahead, to those better days
Make the effort it always pays
You can build upon all you've learned
You can start today
