Ordinary People
Verse
They defy our expectations.
Amaze us with their deeds.
They overcome limitations
Achieve historic things.
Pre chorus
They display great courage.
Saving others’ lives.
Show selfless devotion.
Mere word can’t define.
Chorus
Sometimes ordinary people
Do extraordinary things.
Verse
They’ve been told that they’re nobody.
Been told that they will fail.
But they hang on they persevere.
Stay strong and they prevail.
Pre chorus
They display great courage.
Saving others’ lives.
Show selfless devotion.
Mere word can’t define.
Chorus
Sometimes ordinary people
Do extraordinary things.
Bridge
Only time can see the future.
Only time can judge our deeds.
Sometimes ordinary people
Do extraordinary things.
Verse
