Joy Williams
Ordinary World
[Verse 1]
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 1]
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
It's gone away

[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 2]
Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"The pride will tear us both apart"
Pride's gone out the window
Crossed the rooftops, gone away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What's happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

[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 3]
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

[Chorus]
And 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
[Outro]
Everyone is my world
Everyone is my world
