Extraordinary Life (G)

All the young dreamers say

You gotta be someone, do something great

You gotta get out there and change the world

But what about this normal girl

If I stay at home with my baby girl

I’ll probably never change the world

If I go to work from 8 to 5

Am I living well, am I doing right?

And if I die before I wake

And no one ever knows my name

But I lived by faith and not by sight

If blooming where I’m planted grow

And I love the Lord with all my soul

Then die

That’s an extraordinary life

I’m a pastor of a small town church

I’m a friend who loves a friend whose hurt

I’m a comfort to a dying man

I’m a mother, father, neighbor, friend

---

Now I’m not opposed to chasin dreams

Don’t take it like that, that’s not what I mean

But live faithfully til you hear that bell

In the ordinary days as well
