Ordinary World Lyrics

Came in from a rainy Thursday

 On the avenue

 Thought I heard you talking softly

 

 I turned on the lights, the TV

 And the radio

 Still I can't escape the ghost of you

 

 What has happened to it all?

 Crazy, some are saying

 Where is the life that I recognize?

 Gone away

 

 But I won't cry for yesterday

 There's an ordinary world

 Somehow I have to find

 And as I try to make my way

 To the ordinary world

 I will learn to survive

 

 Passion or coincidence

 Once prompted you to say

 "Pride will tear us both apart"

 Well now pride's gone out the window

 Cross the rooftops

 Run away

 Left me in the vacuum of my heart

 

 What is happening to me?

 Crazy, some'd say

 Where is my friend when I need you most?

 Gone away

 

 But I won't cry for yesterday

 There's an ordinary world

 Somehow I have to find

 And as I try to make my way

 To the ordinary world

 I will learn to survive

 

 Papers in the roadside

 Tell of suffering and greed

 Here today, forgot tomorrow

 Ooh, here besides the news

 Of holy war and holy need

 Ours is just a little sorrow

 It's all gone away

 

 And I don't cry for yesterday

 There's an ordinary world

 Somehow I have to find

 And as I try to make my way

 To the ordinary world

 I will learn to survive

 

 Every one

 Is my world, I will learn to survive

 Any one

 Is my world, I will learn to survive

 Any one

 Is my world

 Every one

 Is my world
