Ordinary World

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
I've gone out the window, cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrow talk

[Chorus]
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
