Ordinary day lyrics

Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just tryin' to get by

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy

But he was looking to the sky

And as he asked if I would come along

I started to realize

That every day he finds just what he's looking for

Like a shooting star he shines

And he said, "Take my hand

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams lie right

In the palm of your hand?"

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

Although they did not feel, no

For I felt what I had not felt before

And you'd swear those words couldn't heal that

And as I looked up into those eyes

His vision borrows mine

And I know he's no stranger

For I feel I've held him for all of time

And he said, "Take my hand

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams right

In the palm of your hand"

In the palm of your hand

Please come with me

See what I see

Touch the stars for time will not flee

Time will not flee, can't you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream

As I wake in bed

And the boy, that ordinary boy

Or was it all in my head?

Didn't he ask if I would come along?

It all seemed so real

But as I looked to the door

I saw that boy standing there with a deal

And he said, "Take my hand

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams lie right

In the palm of your hand"

In the palm of your hand, in the palm of your hand

Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just tryin to get by

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy

But he was looking to the sky
