Verse 1] There’s a bench in a park on the corner of fifth That sat there for thirty years without a second look There’s a song on the radio nobody noticed Until the day it played when someone’s world was shook There’s a diner on a street with a cracked plastic menu Where nothing special ever seemed to go But someone asked someone to marry them on table four And now it’s the most beautiful place they know
[Pre-Chorus] Nothing changes in the ordinary Until it does Until it carries something more than what it was
[Chorus] Every extraordinary place was ordinary first Every love that changed a life was ordinary once We are all just waiting for the moment That turns the common into something worth the words You were ordinary, so was I Until the day we chose to be something more That’s when ordinary walked right out the door
[Verse 2] There’s a person you pass every single morning You’ve memorized their face but not their name But somewhere in their story is a chapter Where they stood up and the whole world changed We’re all just ordinary people Living in the space between the lines Until the moment that we reach for something greater Than the ordinary we were given at the time
[Pre-Chorus] Nothing stays in ordinary Once it moves Once it proves there’s something more than we assumed
[Chorus] Every extraordinary place was ordinary first Every love that changed a life was ordinary once We are all just waiting for the moment That turns the common into something worth the words You were ordinary, so was I Until the day we chose to be something more That’s when ordinary walked right out the door
[Bridge] It’s not fate that makes us matter It’s not luck that writes the stories that remain It’s the ordinary choosing to be different That turns the most unremarkable to flame
[Pre-Chorus] Nothing ever stays the same now Once it grows Once it finds a way to be more than it shows
[Final Chorus] Every extraordinary place was ordinary first Every miracle you’ve seen began as something small We are all just one decision From becoming more than we were before You were ordinary, so was I That was never all we were That’s when ordinary Walked right out the door
[Outro - warm, almost like a reminder to yourself] You’re not waiting to be chosen You’re the one who has to choose Ordinary is just extraordinary That hasn’t happened yet
