Song Lyrics

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 is

The sun still rises, those clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappear

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same, but we are one
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

I paid the rent, all my money spent
But I know where I am
And I'm satisfied 'cause I know I did my best
I always do my best

The sun still rises, the clouds are comin' this way
They always come this way
The stars keep fallin' and disappear

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same, but we are one
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

Once I was afraid, my sorrows out on display
I'm not ashamed

We punch that clock, day begins
Work gets done, we start over again
We're ordinary people

We're not the same, but we are one
In the end, it makes no difference where we're from
We're ordinary people

In 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
