Lyrics
Ordinary Hero
This morning I was drinking lots of coffee
And reading the help wanted classifieds
And wondering why the world was getting colder
When in a little ad I saw these lines
I'm looking for an ordinary hero
Someone who lives an ordinary life
Someone who's trying hard to make it in these crazy crazy times
Someone to lead the world from darkness back to light
Someone who knows that greed and hatred just ain't right
It said a hero reaches out to those more needy
He doesn't turn his back and walk away
He doesn't stop the caring he believes in
When all around him harshness rules the day
I'm looking for an ordinary hero
Someone who lives an ordinary life
Someone who's trying hard to make it in these crazy crazy times
Someone to lead the world from darkness back to light
Someone who knows that greed and hatred just ain't right
The ad had no address
There was no number you could phone
It said the job's yours if you want it
You can work out of your home
And I need lots of heroes
So tell everyone you know
And I'll be watching over you
Everywhere you go
I'm looking for an ordinary hero
Someone who lives an ordinary life
Someone who's trying hard to make it in these crazy crazy times
Someone to lead the world from darkness back to light
Someone who knows that greed and hatred just ain't right
Someone to lead the world from darkness back to light
Someone who knows that greed and hatred just ain't right
