[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all? Crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to me now? Crazy, some would say
Where is my friend when I need you the most? Gone away
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
(Everywhere)
(Everywhere) I will learn to survive
(Everywhere) But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world
(Everywhere) Somehow I have to find
(Everywhere) And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
(Everywhere) I will learn to survive
