Ordinary People - Basia

Oh, if they knew what is really going through her mind 
Oh, how she dazzles triumphant, there's no competition... 
But when not dreaming 
She thinks her world will fall apart 
There's no one there to love her 
And quench this burning passion 

We, ordinary people 
Sometimes frightened a little 
Hiding our secret hopes 
Want an ordinary love 
Need someone to hold 

If they only knew 
What's going through her mind 
If they only knew 
How lonely is her life 
If only we could see 
Through other people's eyes 
We might understand each other's hearts 

Oh, if they knew, what is really going through his mind 
He is so helpless, his head in the sand, day-and-nightmares. 
But the crowd around him believes he has the power 
To change the world, stop wars and hunger 
Yet for his dreams no one cares 

We, ordinary people, 
Sometimes frightened a little 
Hiding our secret hopes 
Want an ordinary love 
Need someone to hold
