Ordinary People

How we are always awe by big achievements
Jealous of what they have, wealth, fame and fortune
Then we have a look at our own reflection in the mirror
See a contradiction of someone we admire
It just brings ourselves down, by lifting the admiration of others;
Somewhere out there, others look at us and enjoy our simplicity
Wondering what they could give up, to have what we have in return
Cos the pasture is not always greener
It is not everything they wanted, after all the sacrifices
Because we are really simple ordinary happy people.

Forget the big fancy cars that cos a bomb
Forget the fancy fine dining, we just can't afford
Don't dream of shopping spree in fashionable countries
High fly jet setting lifestyle
Cos, as much as we lack so much in life, we have so much we didn't know;
That we do have dreams, simple, can create perfect storms
They don't appear on headlines, but they do knock on our little doors
A wake up call, simple ordinary feats, that bring many surprises
Cos simplicity is the biggest dream that can move the world
And we ordinary people, already start each day moving souls!

Ordinary people, with ordinary dreams
Ordinary dreams, with massive influences
We may not change the course of the world
But we do change the course of lives we touch
And the world is shaped.
