Ordinary World

by Valerie June

Lyrics
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

Passion or coincidence, ones prompted you to say
Pride we cherish broke apart, well now
Pride's gon' have to win to cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some may say
Where is the life that I recognize?

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

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy me
Ours is just a little sorrow talk

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some may say
Where is the life that I recognize?

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

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

Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
In my world
Everywhere
