Basia - Ordinary People Lyrics
Basia Trzetrzelewska & Danny White)Oh, if they knew what is really going through her mindOh, how she dazzles triumphant, there's no competition...But when not dreamingShe thinks her world will fall apartThere's no one there to love herAnd quench this burning passionWe, ordinary peopleSometimes frightened a littleHiding our secret hopesWant an ordinary loveNeed someone to holdIf they only knewWhat's going through her mindIf they only knewHow lonely is her lifeIf only we could seeThrough other people's eyesWe might understand each other's heartsOh, if they knew, what is really going through his mindHe is so helpless, his head in the sand, day-and-nightmares.But the crowd around him believes he has the powerTo change the world, stop wars and hungerYet for his dreams no one caresWe, ordinary people,Sometimes frightened a littleHiding our secret hopesWant an ordinary loveNeed someone to hold
