Get up in the mornin' go to work all day
I've got mouths to feed, I've got bills to pay
When I was younger this wasn't what I planned
Still I wouldn't change a thing
Lord knows I'm a lucky man
And I may never change the world
But I do the best I can...
I am the ordinary man
On feet of clay you make your stand
In a world that's full of everyday miracles
I am the ordinary man
Until I feel the love you bring
And I learn again nothin' else means a thing
To the heart of an ordinary man
I never made the cover of a magazine
It never much worked out... most of my daydreams
And I'd be lyin' to say I'm satisfied
You gotta keep pushin' on...right to the day you die
And I may never change the world
But at least I know I tried...
I am the ordinary man
In shadows you learn to stand
Knocked on unopened doors
Learned love is its own reward
To the heart of an ordinary man
I know I'll never change the world
But I do the best I can...
I am the ordinary man
On feet of clay you make your stand
In a life that's full of everyday miracles
I am the ordinary man
And then I feel you close to me
And I give my life...a humble offering
This heart of the ordinary man
