Ordinary People
Ordinary people living ordinary lives
Citizens of town and country husbands and wives
From the cradle to the grave some lessons to learn
In the everchanging evolution of life
Will the nuclear family survive
When the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
There's an everwidening divide
Only ticketed passengers can board this moving train
Through the tunnel of pleasure to the pyramid of pain
Colourcoded tapestries kaleidoscope dreams
Rocky mountain vistas bathed in shadows and light
There's a new horizon in your mind
There's a bridge we all must cross, each and every one of us
If we want to reach the other side
Ordinary people we are travellers in time
We control our destiny we laugh and we cry
Travelling this road we take our suitcase of dreams
In the line of fire we learn much from ourselves
How to face the moment of truth
Fasten up your safety belt
There could be some turbulence
Settle down this could be a long ride
Citizens of town and country husbands and wives
From the cradle to the grave some lessons to learn
In the everchanging evolution of life
Will the nuclear family survive
When the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
There's an everwidening divide
Only ticketed passengers can board this moving train
Through the tunnel of pleasure to the pyramid of pain
Colourcoded tapestries kaleidoscope dreams
Rocky mountain vistas bathed in shadows and light
There's a new horizon in your mind
There's a bridge we all must cross, each and every one of us
If we want to reach the other side
Ordinary people we are travellers in time
We control our destiny we laugh and we cry
Travelling this road we take our suitcase of dreams
In the line of fire we learn much from ourselves
How to face the moment of truth
Fasten up your safety belt
There could be some turbulence
Settle down this could be a long ride
