Ordinary Day

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying 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
Though you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel now
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrowed 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 now
Though you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
Oh, 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 you see

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Was it all in my head?
And he asked 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 now
Though you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
Oh, in the palm of your hand
Oh, in the palm of your hand

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
