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, 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 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
