Ordinary, is how I try to live my life
Ordinary, pay my bills and do what's right
Ordinary, try to get to work on time
Ordinary, and leave alone what isn't mine
Those days have gone by

So why'd You show me Heaven, just so I could let it go
Why'd You show me Heaven, I didn't miss what I didn't know
Why'd You show me Heaven, just to see what I can't have
Why'd You show me Heaven, after all I'm just a man
What was in Your plan, and why'd You show me Heaven

Ordinary, working hard to make ends meet
Ordinary, make sure my kids have enough to eat
Ordinary, I'm just watching life go by
Ordinary, while I hold it inside
So many days have gone by
Sometimes I wonder why

Why'd You show me Heaven, just so I could let it go
Why'd You show me Heaven, I didn't miss what I didn't know
Why'd You show me Heaven, just to see what I can't have
Why'd You show me Heaven, after all I'm just a man
What was in Your plan,tell me

Why'd You show me Heaven, just so I could let it go
Why'd You show me Heaven, I didn't miss what I didn't know
But I'm stronger than You think I am, I'll get by outside Your promised land
I'll put my head down and complete my task, But every now and then I'll need to ask
Why'd You show me Heaven, why allow my eyes to see
Why'd You show me Heaven, maybe Heaven's meant for me
Why'd You show me Heaven, Ordinary, that's how I tried to live my life
Why'd You show me Heaven, Ordinary, I left alone what wasn't mine
