ORDINARY MAN (ala Garth Brooks)
(Written By: Robert Burrows)
Ordinary Man
Just an ordinary man
Livin’ life without a plan
Weekend parties with his friends
Sunday dinner with his kin
Monday do it all again
But when he saw those towers fall
It was then he heard a call
And deep inside he knew
It comes down to me and you
So he did what he could do
CHORUS:
And I know
When I go to sleep at night
That somewhere
He’s out there on that line
Watchin’ out for you and me
Keepin’ all that we love free
And I think that we should thank God every day
For that ordinary man
You know he’s got a wife at home
And their baby’s gonna come
He’ll have to miss that day
And it hurts but he won’t say
It’s just got to be that way
You know it makes his daddy proud
That he stood out from the crowd
And mama knows it’s right
But she don’t want him in the fight
And she cries for him at night
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
We honor them with special days
And names upon a wall
We keep them with us
In our thoughts and prayers
They're the sons and the daughters
The sisters and the brothers
The ones who've made
The sacrifice for all
CHORUS:
And I know
When I go to sleep at night
That somewhere
He’s out there on that line
Watchin’ out for you and me
You know that freedom isn’t free
And I think that we should thank God every day
For that ordinary man
