An ordinary song
About ordinary people
There is nothing wrong
With ordinary people
You are such an ordinary man
with much of an ordinary life
You might be an ordinary woman
And be his ordinary wife
Your hobbies ring out as ordinary, too
Dressing old-timey, acting out scenes
And all the visions in all of her arts
Spring from ordinary dreams
(chorus)
Your children are pretty ordinary as well
Comfortably dropping B grades
And if we didn't look past the classroom
We'd miss all the roles that they've played
Although they seem easy to cheapen
That board and dice are profound -
They use them to conjure a magical world
No bullies, and no one is drowned
There's nothing wrong with ordinary
I salute the mundane, not the grey
It's still a colorful existence
Just not a Feldonian play
(chorus)
The dullness of your routine decency
Becomes more valuable in relief
Against those who relentlessly, obstinately
Refuse to improve their belief
You've grown better than generations past
And yes, I know who raised who
It's in the smaller - and the larger things
And how you value what you do
(chorus)
You may be an ordinary man
And your wife unremarkable too
But you are building a better world
With every thing that you do
(chorus)
There's nothing wrong with ordinary
I salute the mundane, not the grey
It's still a colorful existence and
You make the world richer each day
You can rely on the ordinary people
For the daily
Almost always
Turning up
You can rely on the ordinary people
For the daily
Almost always
They turn up
