Alanis Morissette - Today Lyrics






I've fallen down
Joan of Arc ailing, systems are failing the mission
They've been taken down
Wind from my sails, my tempers that flair and were vicious

I'm going down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down

Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today

Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today

Smile upside-down
Rupture is rising, families are scrambling for custody
Faithlessly drowned
The chase of this dollar is tilting my altar toward apathy

We're going down, down, down
We're going down unless we move to new ground

Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today

Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today

Warmed by this fire
Born from a flicker, my heart moves slower than technology
This dampened desire
Is rolling its sleeves up, replaced by a vigor and empathy

I'm reaching and higher and higher
I'm moving up and up and up
And up, oh

As we bandy our solution
Celebrate our revolution
That antidotes our stations
Today

And as we activate our nation
As we're joined by our companions
We ignite our generation
Today

Alanis Morissette Today Comments
  1. A.... h....

    To a heart or hearts
    that may read this,

    At this point in time I can urge you to save yourself but can't actual save you because that part you have to do yourself. If you want a better life you must start taking responsibility for what emotions you feel, for what thoughts you choose to live by and take responsibility for your actions. If you choose to say "they make me feel" or "that makes me feel" then those are statements of a man or women who chooses to be not responsible for what emotions they feel. To no longer to feel sadness you must take responsibility of why you choose to be sad and take action to develop a change in your life that helps you then feel like its appropriate to choose to feel happy.

    As well to choose to have compassion for all beings and no longer eat animal flesh and eat a vegan diet or a raw vegan diet can help you then choose to be happy, and, as well, is an action nesscary for you to live a life that will help you choose to be happy. Otherwise your choice to eat animal flesh will have a bad effect on your body that you may not understand at this moment which will result in great suffering for you and also for the animals you choose not to care for.

    Further more to decide you have the right to harm or others have the right to harm for you so that you may consume animal flesh will result in self condemnation. Unfortunately, if you eat animal flesh, you have been indoctrinated into a society that teaches you that killing is ok to do to some animals and even may have been indoctrinated that its okay to kill some humans. I hope my words were read by you and taken seriously and are incorporated into your daily life & I hope you organize a beautiful life for yourself and others.

    A letter,
    From a heart,
    Named Lee 💜

    P.S Please don't hate any one different than you. 🌈

    Yessss Marianne. Thankyou!!! A Great Song!!! Another great song!!!😁

  4. M.... A....

    I'm concerned that miss morissette has dual citizenship for her music business purpose/somehow I'll ALWAYS see her as a Canadian-I just don't think its appropriate she gets involved in American politics. She should leave this task to Fiona Apple or Tori Amos.

  23. H.... S....

    LOVE THIS! Alanis, can I please hang out with you for one day??!! Please!!!

  24. I.... G....

    great song, but Marianne Williamson has a black people bias and she believes in reparations. My family came as immigrants here in 1985 and grandparents in the holocaust. A lot of white immigrants. And im not oaying a dime in reparations. it was good she lost. She unknowingly backed a black supremacist policy in reparations.

  25. t.... h....

    Alanis, bard of ages. I am amazed everytime I hear her voice set to music

    Ever inspiring. A soul beyond her years.

    Todayyyyy

  47. j.... t....

    I am apolitical. No man or woman can bring about the true changes we need. No matter who rules they are as imperfect as the rest of us and will make mistakes. Just look at history, its all there, human endeavours and failures.

  48. m.... ....

    Love the song! But I have to wonder if some wing-nuts will take it to mean to start a revolution as in coup d'état/Operation American Spring!  Many of us know that you mean a peaceful revolution- to start with first by researching the candidates/propositions, and then getting out there to vote!   
    "In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it." ~ Marianne Williamson
    "The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world." ~ Marianne Williamson
    p.s. I love your all your music 

  49. S.... H....

    alanis, help me start a grass roots organization to engage our fellow citizens to meet and speak on what they want their country to be.  we can go it, and I can help!
    i had a major brain surgery in december and was partially paralyzed for 3 months...if i can make it out of that we as a united people can do great things.  Im thinking starting at university town halls can get us there  can you help?  its our duty to fix what is broken.  

  50. M.... W....

    Kudos to Alanis for coming up with a beautiful song. She at least piqued my interest enough to see who Marianne Wiliamson is. While she may be an upgrade from the representative now, I don't see how what she's about can be of any help. I just watched her ted talk from a year ago. It was 17 minutes of her speaking about nice things without saying anything at all.

  51. C.... S....

    Wonderful!...Nice to see you in the fight to make this Country a better place for all!

  52. M.... I....

    Great song. Love the message and love everything Alanis does.

  53. P.... N....

    I've been to the link and can't find the place to download the song. Am I too late? GREAT song, by the way!

    P.... N....

    I can't find it either... Have a rip from the YouTube video to tide me over, but I'd like the actual HQ MP3!!

    P.... N....

    Agreed!

  54. D.... C....

    Time to change...here and there. Little by little, going forward.

  55. S.... S....

    Marianne Williamson has got to be the most exciting possibility for a politician since Ghandi. Not that she could accomplish much politically but as an inspirational voice amongst the tunnel visioned economic interests

  56. F.... T....

    Bravo Alanis! Thank you for your vote of support to Marianne! Watch Marianne in our inspiring and transformative Movie:  FemmeTheMovie point com ! 

  57. L.... M....

    wow..this song is so amazing

  58. F.... M....

    It was about time!

  59. T.... R....

    Inspiring

  60. F.... F....

    What a wonderful song and video,i just loved that!!!!
    Love you Alanis!!! <3<3<3<3

  61. A.... T....

    Very Beautiful and Inspirational song Thanks you, Alanis

  62. E.... K....

    Love Marianne Williamson and would vote for her if I lived in CA. But Alanis Morissette is NOT my cuppa when it comes to music. I would've liked Better Midler singing.

  63. R.... M....

    Do what you love Alanis:) Change the world:)

  64. D.... K....

    Alanis, you really captured the Spirit of the campaign.  Gratitude and thank you for such a wonderful gift of inspiration...

  65. P.... S....

    Awesome!  Marianne for Congress!

  66. D.... J....

    i love this song. we need more!

  67. M.... J....

    Thank you Alanis! It's Beautiful! Peace, Love & Blessings for ALL! #wwld #marianneforcongress  #1forALL and #ALLforOne

  68. M.... D....

    Wonderful!

  69. M.... D....

    Wonderful!

  70. M.... G....

    I listen to the song with my eyes closed and it makes so much sense.... Thank you

  71. G.... O....

    Thank you Marianne Willamson!..thank you Alanis! for your great, great job for a new way to serve to the entire humanity. I love you

  72. m.... ....

    I don't know who is this politician (nor do I care), but it is good to see that Alanis still has such a great voice.

  73. J.... S....

    Terrible, why do people make music like this?

  74. E.... ....

    What a "Truly Blessed Voice" . . . me encanta !

  75. P.... B....

    Yes! Beautifully done. I have been inspired by your music, your heart, how you live in our world, for years now. We both often land at similar circles and events whether it is Marianne's Monday nights at The Saban or Neal Donald Walchs teachings I Colorado! Now one of my favorite inspirational speakers and musicians/ artists have joined forces!
    "We have changed our selves, now, let's change the world!"
    I am one of Marianne's volunteers for her campaign and I am delighted to share this message/song! Thank you Alanis! Love you and your hearts work.

    All politicians will disappoint.  We're just lucky enough to be able to pick the one we think will disappoint our interests the least.  At least this means Alanis is back in the studio.

  77. E.... S....

    I love the fact you did this for someone and the fact you are helping change the world, this is something John Lennon would definitely pat you on the back and say job well done!! You are amazing Alanis! One of the many reasons I am a fan of yours!

    E.... S....

    Lennon was someone who beat his wife. The ambivalence embodied

    E.... S....

    Lennon was also a dead beat dad.

  78. E.... S....

    I totally love the song!!!!

  79. C.... T....

    Great song with much inspiration love you Alanis from Ecuador

  80. T.... J....

    Riffgroove you totally have missed it! First of all, Marianne is running as an Independent, making your partisan hackery (perhaps you meant quackery?) comment false, null and void. Second, your really missed it by a mile with your comment about letting people "know that corporations and special-interest groups run the nation..." Guess what is on the top of the agenda for Marianne Williamson? Precisely, not just talking about it but amending the Constitution to reverse the nefarious Citizen's united and McCutchen rulings by the Supreme Court. I listened to this song and it really did touch my heart because I understand the importance and the magnitude of what we must do to bring back our democracy. I truly believe that if you were familiar with the Williamson campaign you would feel differently and perhaps you would feel a little bit of something that Alanis must have felt when she decided to create this song for Marianne. Two final thoughts- I hope that you are not one of those people that are so disgusted by our politics that you have decided to tune out and not vote, but the fact is when you choose to not vote you give the moneyed interests and the religious extremists your power...which is the vote. Lastly, if you still feel like righting our democracy is not your cup of tea, no one is strapping you down forcing you to listen to or watch this Alanis song, so understand that the only one subjecting you to your perceived torture is yourself.

  81. V.... R....

    Thank you Alanis!

  82. M.... G....

    I love this song ♡
    You Did an Amazing job Alanis Morissette.

  89. J.... T....

    An amazing song. Thank you Alanis....Keep them coming!!

  90. m.... e....

    Beautiful.

  91. y.... y....

    certainly generous to give the song to a politician.......heck didnt we just have an election?  i spend my winter in thailand , and they have politics their 24/7 for years now..seems u cant avoid politics whereever you go.....alanis definately has the voice, lyrics, and more . but kind of agree with the below comment, song for a politician?  oh well, let freedom ring HARD

    y.... y....

    A very wise man once said, "politics is spirituality expressed." If you think about this it is true. The people we elect to write our laws and prioritize the issues should be a reflection of our heart and soul as a society. There is no doubt we need to improve this process tremendously, primarily by getting money out of politics, but that is why this requires our participation. "Democracy is not a spectator sport".

    y.... y....

    since when does a musician or actor have better judgement than regular folk

  92. M.... A....

    Invigorating! Enthusiastic! Let's work together for an honest world for the people, to the people, by the people.

  93. B.... L....

    Your voice is ABSOLUTELY *BEAUTIFUL* on this, Alanis <3
