lyrics

No Ordinary Day

This is no ordinary day
Save for one that may define
The chances, and the choices you will make
For the rest of your life

The road is lying here before you
Unfolding to your future now
Heed the signs
Your brand new destination
And it's been a real hard day

Don't imagine that anyone can do this for you
Don't believe that anyone can hold you back
Don't imagine that someone could try and do this for you
This is no ordinary day

Don't you analyse and don't look back
The pages fall, the story you…
This man standing here right now
Who never found this life so easy

You've woken and now you're on your way
Know life is tentative and precious
One you'd never even thought of
And it's been a real hard day

Don't imagine that anyone can do this for you
Don't believe that anyone can hold you back
Don't imagine that someone could try and do this for you
This is no ordinary day
Don't imagine that anyone can do this for you
This is no ordinary day

(repeat)
