Lyrics
Ordinary People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I close my eyes, but I can't sleep again.
There's static in my head.
And the world outside is finally closin' in.
I guess it is what it is.
The sun still rises, those clouds are comin' this way.
They always come this way.
The stars keep fallin' and disappear.
We punch that clock, day begins.
Work gets done, we start over again.
We're ordinary people.
We're not the same, but we are one
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from.
We're ordinary people.
I paid the rent, all my money spent.
But I know where I am.
And I'm satisfied 'cause I know I did my best.
I always do my best.
The sun still rises, the clouds are comin' this way.
They always come this way.
The stars keep fallin' and disappear.
We punch that clock, day begins.
Work gets done, we start over again.
We're ordinary people.
We're not the same, but we are one.
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from.
We're ordinary people.
Once I was afraid, my sorrows out on display.
I'm not ashamed.
We punch that clock, day begins.
Work gets done, we start over again.
We're ordinary people.
We're not the same, but we are one.
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from.
We're ordinary people.
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from.
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from.
We're ordinary people
