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      What has happened to it all?   Crazy, some'd say   Where is the life that I recognize?   Gone away      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      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      What is happening to me?   Crazy, some'd say   Where is my friend when I need you most?   Gone away      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      Papers in the roadside   Tell of suffering and greed   Here today, forgot tomorrow   Ooh, here besides the news   Of holy war and holy need   Ours is just a little sorrowed talk      And I don'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      Every one is my world, I will learn to survive   Any one is my world, I will learn to survive   Any one is my world   Every one is my world
