[Intro: Adam Gontier & Matt Walst]
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
[Verse 1: Matt Walst]
When the night grows cold, but your blood runs warm
And everything you touch just melts away and leaves you alone
No one understands the noise in your head
Such a simple melody playing over and over again
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Walst]
But why would you wanna blend in when you are drenched in gold?
[Chorus: Matt Walst]
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
[Interlude: Lindsey Stirling]
We were never ordinary
[Verse 2: Adam Gontier]
It was never far, never out of reach
The ember in the dark that's quiet, burning just beneath
Isolated, complicated, will we find a way to make it out alive?
And not feel so alone, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gontier]
But why would you wanna blend in when you are drenched in gold?
[Chorus: Adam Gontier]
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
[Bridge: Matt Walst with Adam Gontier]
You don't have to hide away your individuality
'Cause when I look at you, I see that you're just like me
A misfit runaway with gold buried underneath
[Chorus: Adam Gontier, Matt Walst]
We were never ordinary
All the weight we carry (All the weight we carry) will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
We were never ordinary (Never ordinary)
All the weight we carry (All the weight we carry) will help us write our story
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
[Outro: Matt Walst, Lindsey Stirling]
We were never ordinary
In the darkest night, you were born to shine
(You were never ordinary)
