Ordinary Day

ORDINARY DAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

OCTOBER 2017

TAKE AN ORDINARY NIGHT

TURN IT BURN IT TILL IT'S BURNING BRIGHT 

STARE INTO THE FLAMES AND DREAM

SOMETHING THAT I HAVE OR HAVEN'T SEEN

THERE'S A LIST OF THINGS I WANT TO DO

ALWAYS FALLS TO THE WAYSIDE

ROLLING IN AND OUT JUST OUT OF REACH

FLOATING WITH THE TIDE

I COULD SAY IT'S BEEN HARD TO FIND 

HARD TO EXPLAIN THESE MYSTERIES

AS THEY UNWIND

THESE SHOULD BE NOTHING BUT GOLD 

MAYBE I'M GETTING TOO OLD TO CHASE RAINBOWS

THROUGH ALL THESE HIGHS AND LOWS

NO ONE KNOWS THE PAIN I GAIN

BREAKING DOWN TO BE FIXED AGAIN 

NEVER QUITE THE SAME

NOT COMPLETELY THE BLAME FOR THIS 

IT WASN'T UP TO ME

THINGS OUT OF MY CONTROL 

BACKED ME IN A CORNER AND STRIPPED ME OF MY PRIDE 

PUSHED ME OUT THE OTHER SIDE

NOW I'M FREE BUT I'M NOT FREE

ALL THIS SHIT STUCK TO ME

WHEN DOES IT END,  SO I CAN HAVE MY LIFE BACK AGAIN 

COME IN FROM THE RAIN, GET WARM AND DRY

RAISE MY EXPECTATIONS REGAIN MY PRIDE

IT'S FOR ME TOO DECIDE

I REALIZE IT'S UP TO ME

WHEN TO TAKE THE PRIZE

I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

BUT IT'S ONLY ME THAT HAS THE ANSWERS

TURN IT BURN IT, STARE INTO THE FLAMES AND DREAM

OF THE BEST TO COME

TAKE AN ORDINARY DAY

TURN IT INTO GOLD

A MEMORY YOU CAN HOLD UP TO THE LIGHT

AND LOOK OUT THE OTHER SIDE

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR

 IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG

I WOULDN'T ASK YOU

BUT IT'S BEEN SO LONG

SEE WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS 

ON THE WINGS OF THE NEW DAYS SUNRISE

JUST AN ORDINARY DAY

TURN IT INTO GOLD
