My Ordinary Life

I'm a second son of a second son A stranger to most, but loved by some I've been afraid, since I was young It takes a lot, pretending to be strong I was born in a far away place Childhood feels like that, in any case My mother loves me, my father did too But he let me down, between me and you My ordinary life My ordinary life I grew up fast, or so they say Sorrow gives you a head start, in that race In many ways, I'm still just a child Doing my best out here, in the wild One day, I found my fate I met the girl, and everything changed We got married, in the pouring rain Broke a glass under my heel, and shouted out her name Her eyes are wide, deep and bright Her touch is like sunlight, on my skin She's kind and gentle, strong and true She'll only see the best in you My ordinary life My ordinary life Now I'm married, with children of my own My beautiful family gave me a home I finally know where I belong The second son of a second son My ordinary life My extraordinary life
