Ordinary People - Basia

Oh, if they knew what is really going through her mind

Oh, how she dazzles triumphant, there’s no competition…

But when not dreaming

She thinks her world will fall apart

There’s no one there to love her

And quench this burning passion

We, ordinary people

Sometimes frightened a little

Hiding our secret hopes

Want an ordinary love

Need someone to hold

If they only knew

What’s going through her mind

If they only knew

How lonely is her life

If only we could see

Through other people’s eyes

We might understand each other’s hearts

Oh, if they knew, what is really going through his mind

He is so helpless, his head in the sand, day-and-nightmares.

But the crowd around him believes he has the power

To change the world, stop wars and hunger

Yet for his dreams no one cares

We, ordinary people,

Sometimes frightened a little

Hiding our secret hopes

Want an ordinary love

Need someone to hold
