Lyrics

They’re just talking in the playground
Trading secrets after lunch
There’s more to them than meets the eye
Quiet hearts and steady hands

Just ordinary people living their ordinary lives
They don’t have a problem hiding from intrusive eyes
It’s extraordinary how the world is made
By their ordinary lives

Dreams are folded in their pockets
Plans they don’t yet recognise
Building tomorrow out of nothing
Between the hellos and goodbyes

Just ordinary people living their ordinary lives
They don’t have a problem hiding from prying eyes
It’s extraordinary how the world is made
By their ordinary lives

These everyday people doing unseen things
It’s just extra ordinary what these unseen things bring
It’s not the rich and famous who decide the now and then
Its John and Susan Wilson who live at number ten

Just ordinary people living their ordinary lives
They don’t have a problem hiding from intrusive eyes (prying eyes)
It’s extraordinary how the world is made
By their ordinary lives

It’s not what they might do or say
Its smiling through the weight of it
Their stability in motion
It’s not a loud or wild emotion

Just ordinary people living their ordinary lives
They don’t have a problem hiding from intrusive eyes (prying eyes)
It’s extraordinary how the world is made
By their ordinary lives

Making order out of chaos
That’s what love can really show us
That’s what comes from their devotion
They’re not creating a commotion

Just ordinary people living their ordinary lives
They don’t have a problem hiding from intrusive eyes (prying eyes)
It’s extraordinary how the world is turned
By their ordinary lives
