Ordinary Heroes Lyrics - Howard Jones

He's only five and the day arrives 

As he heads off to school 

His mother smiles and waves goodbye 

Thats what mother's do 

He'll never see the tears she cries 

It's like any other day 

She just walks away 

Ordinary heroes 

There's one on every street 

You might not recognise them 

'Cause they're just like you and me 

Ordinary Heroes 

You may not know their names 

'Cause they don't make the healines 

But they're gonna save the day

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

Seventeen the lights are green 

Racing through the town 

Like movie scenes from magazines 

Radio up loud 

His head explodes with tortured dreams 

And broken ties at home 

While she waits alone 

Ordinary heroes 

There's one on every street 

You might not recognise them 

'Cause they're just like you and me 

Ordinary heroes 

You may not know their names 

'Cause they don't make the healines 

But they're gonna save the day 

Photos 

Born to live through joy and madness 

We all suffer love and grief 

Sometimes doubt what's inside 

And we don't always see 

Ordinary heroes 

There's one on every street 

You might not recognise them 

'Cause they're just like you and me 

Ordinary heroes 

You may not know their names 

'Cause they don't make the healines 

But they're gonna save the day
