I close my eyes but I can't sleep again
There's static in my head
And the world outside is finally closin' in
I guess it is what it isThe sun still rises, those clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappearWe punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary peopleWe're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary peopleI paid the rent, now all my money's spent
But I know where I am
And I'm satisfied 'cause I know I did my best
I always do my bestThe sun still rises, the clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappearWe punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary peopleWe're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary peopleOnce I was afraid
My sorrows out on display
I'm not ashamedWe punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary peopleWe're not the same but we are one
In the end it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary peopleIn the end it makes no difference where we're from
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people
