Ordinary World 
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'd say
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 sorrowed talk 

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
