I'm never late
When it's time to go to work
I get up early, I go to bed late
Sometimes my back hurts a bit
I really like normal life
Even if sometimes I dream of being far away
And if my dreams are ordinary
Maybe it's because I'm worth just that
It's not gold in my hands
It's not scoring twenty out of twenty
Nor being king nor being queen
And then when there aren't any
Well we put some in our eyes
So once night has fallen
I wander among people
I hear them laugh, I see them dance
It makes me feel alive
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
And in this subway car
We squeeze in without even talking
And even though we're surely too many
We're still nice to look at
We're beautiful in our differences
Welcome to you, stranger
Talk to me about your country, I think
I settle for nothing, you see
I just want the respect I'm owed
That we're not much
That nothing's big but love
That we can give every day
So once night has fallen
I wander among people
I hear them laugh, I see them dance
It makes me feel alive
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
It's not gold in my hands
It's not scoring twenty out of twenty
Nor being king nor being queen
I settle for nothing, you see
So once night has fallen
I wander among people
I hear them laugh, I see them dance
It makes me feel alive
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
And it makes extraordinary
My completely ordinary life
I'm never late
When it's time to go to work
I get up early, I go to bed late
Sometimes my back hurts a bit
