Lyrics

Ordinary Bliss.
© M.Russo/D. Hulcombe 17/1/2003

Not another sip from a half-empty cup.
Beauty all around begs me to wake up.
Eyes that had forgotten how to see good,
Painting me a picture of things overlooked.
As these days go by and I want for nothing more than this,
'Cause these days of mine are full of ordinary bliss.

A solitary moment overthrown
Kisses on the run that say don't go
A feeling that is good enough to share
Ordinary bliss is everywhere.

Now begins and ends each of our days here.
Misery pretending we remain here.
Hiding from delight so they may be blessed
Lives without a life, preach safety in numbness.
Should I chased my demons casting angels to the side
And forsake all pleasure of this ordinary life?

* I see it in the hand that holds a child.
It's in the weathered face from years of smile.
Riding on the wind to chase the air
Ordinary bliss is everywhere.

There's water from the sky to wet your feet.
Laughter long and loud when old friends meet
You see it in the face of those who care
Ordinary bliss is everywhere

It's all around you look and things start to shine.

Instrumental

You chase the ride to make your dreams come true.
Pining for tomorrow while the taste of life is right in front of you.
When I open my eyes…
Repeat *
Standing on the mountain top's divine.
But even from the ground the stars still shine
It's hiding between here and halfway there
Ordinary bliss is everywhere.

A solitary moment overthrown
Kisses on the run that say don't go
A feeling that is good enough to share
Ordinary bliss is everywhere.
