Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to the world?
Crazy some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
What has happened to the world?
Crazy some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Any world is my world
Any world is my world
Any world is my world
Every world is my world
