[Verse] We have heard stories through the years, some made us laugh and others brought tears, the people you meet and the friends you make, some of them real and others seem fake, In this life we are climbing our own steeples, and we try so hard not to all be like. [Chorus] Ordinary people, let time slip through their hands, Ordinary people, just sifting through the sand, Ordinary people, just trying to survive, Ordinary people, who wish they felt alive, for those of us who really do want more, and what it takes to break down every door, is striving hard to not be equal, or for us to stay, ordinary people. [Verse 2] We must not live by worldly fear, but by true faith to make it all clear. The path we choose today can make all the difference, as long as we all have the perseverance. Let’s not cave in to be weak or feeble, we know that we can all be more than. [Chorus] Ordinary people, let time slip through their hands, Ordinary people, just sifting through the sand, Ordinary people, just trying to survive, Ordinary people, who wish they felt alive, for those of us who really do want more, and what it takes to break down every door, is striving hard to not be equal, or for us to stay, ordinary people. [Bridge] So when we get to the top of our steeple, we can all rise and soar like an eagle, and we will never be again, Yes never be again [Chorus] Ordinary people, let time slip through their hands, Ordinary people, just sifting through the sand. Ordinary people, just trying to survive, Ordinary people, who wish they felt alive. For those of us who really do want more, and what it takes to break down every door, is striving hard to not be equal, because we are more, so much more, than ordinary people .
