Verse:
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you
What is happening to it all
Crazy some say
Where is the life that I recognise? Gone away
Chorus:
But I won’t cry for yesterday
N*
There’s an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
N*
I will learn to survive
Verse:
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride’s gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, runaway
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me
Crazy some say
Where is my friend when I need you most? Gone away
Chorus:
But I won’t cry for yesterday
N*
There’s an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
N*
I will learn to survive

Verse:
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Feared today forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrow talk
Chorus:
But I won’t cry for yesterday
N*
There’s an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
N*
I will learn to survive
Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
