Ordinary World
[Verse 1]
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
Passion or coincidence, one's prompted you to say
Pride we cherish broke apart, well, now
Pride's gon' have to win to cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all?
"Crazy," some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?
[Chorus]
That won't crack me yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I'll have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Papers in the roadside
Tales of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy me
Ours is just a little sorrow talk
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all?
"Crazy," some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?
[Chorus]
That won't crack me yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I'll have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
That won't crack me yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I'll have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
[Outro]
Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
