Lyrics

ORDINARY MAN

He’s an ordinary man lives an ordinary life
Has an ordinary home and an ordinary wife
Every day is like the last one, nothing much seems to go wrong
But his world just took a sideways spin, now his ordinary life is gone

He’s a father, he’s a brother
He’s a husband, he’s a son
He’s a friend and a neighbour
Now he’s carrying a gun
His world has turned to ashes
Dreams are rubble in the dust
His prayers rise high above
Everything he’s lost

He packed up all the memories one suitcase could hold
Kept his family close beside him, left everything they owned
His quiet life was shattered with the first blast of a bomb
His world took a sideways spin, and his ordinary life was gone

He’s a father, he’s a brother
He’s a husband, he’s a son
He’s a friend and a neighbour
Now he’s carrying a gun
His world has turned to ashes
Dreams are rubble in the dust
His prayers rise high above
Everything he’s lost

The world is watching
In colour on TV
As hearts break, we wonder
Could it happen to me?

He’s a father, he’s a brother
He’s a husband, he’s a son
He’s a friend and a neighbour
Now he’s carrying a gun
His world has turned to ashes
Dreams are rubble in the dust
His prayers rise high above
Everything he’s lost

He’s an ordinary man…
