Swing Out Sister

"Ordinary People"

What you see may only be skin deep
But what you feel inside is there for keeps
Can't know happiness 'til you've been sad
But tears drown all the joy you've ever had

Talkin' 'bout people
Whose prayers went unheard
Talkin' 'bout people
Still waiting for their turn
Talkin' 'bout people, yeah
Living in uncertainty
Ordinary people
People like you and me

See your life before you slip away
Hanging on to every hour each day
Can't keep up the pace but can't slow down
Life's a rat-race, theres's no short way around

Talkin' 'bout people
Who didn't make the grade
Talkin' 'bout people
Whose debts are never paid

Talkin' 'bout people
Holding out for dignity
Ordinary people, yeah
People like you and me

When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else but you've got pride
Until there's nothing to sacrifice
We'll survive
We'll survive





Talkin' 'bout people
Ordinary people
People like you and me

Talkin' 'bout people
Existing from day to day
Talkin' 'bout people
Who lost their way
Talkin' 'bout people, yeah
Driven by destiny
Ordinary people
People like you and me

When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else by you've got pride
And when there's nowhere to run or hide
You'll find there's no short-cut and
there's no free ride
Until there's nothing to sacrifice
We'll survive
Never give up 'til it's gone
Together we'll be strong
We'll survive
