I was standing by the road Had to choose which way to go Had to choose The road I know or what's new And the choice that I will make Does it matter anyway Am I free Is it all decided for me I don't know where I belong The future is untold Here today Tomorrow I'll be gone In the end We're the same On a universal scale The world moves on We just have to go along In the end All we are A speck of dust among the stars And we all hope That we're not here all alone We are not alone Did I choose to walk this road Did I choose which way to go All I know The road won't judge, won't care All the choices that I make Do they matter anyway Am I free Or is it all decided for me I don't know where I belong The future is untold Here today Tomorrow I'll be gone In the end We're the same On a universal scale The world moves on We just have to go along In the end All we are A speck of dust among the stars And we all hope That we're not here all alone We are not alone Did I choose to walk this road Did I choose which way to go All I know The world moves on We just have to go along In the end We're the same On a universal scale The world moves on We just have to go along In the end All we are A speck of dust among the stars And we all hope That we're not here all alone We are not alone

Things are clear in black and white But living color tends to dull our sight, like dynamite Just imagine my surprise When I looked into your eyes and saw through your disguise If we dare expose our hearts And just reveal the purest parts That's when strange sensations start to grow We are not alone You'll find out when your cover's blown There'll be somebody there to break your fall We are not alone 'Cause when you cut down to the bone We're really not so different, after all, after all Not alone Flying high above the sky The patterns down below look simplified A good place to hide But on inspection of the dust I came upon this thing called trust, it helps us to adjust Just imagine my surprise When I looked into your eyes I knew right then I'd never let you go We are not alone You'll find out when your cover's blown There'll be somebody there to break your fall We are not alone 'Cause when you cut down to the bone We're really not so different, after all, after all We're not alone, not alone After all, not alone If we dare expose our hearts And just reveal the purest parts That's when strange sensations start to grow We are not alone You'll find out when your cover's blown There'll be somebody there to break your fall We are not alone 'Cause when you cut down to the bone We're really not so different, after all We are not alone You'll find out when your cover's blown There'll be somebody there to break your fall We are not alone 'Cause when you cut down to the bone We're really not so different, after all, after all After all, after all, we are not alone

Look in the mirror tell me what do you see Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night You want to think you're different, but you know you never can You're just another ordinary man Hey politician, can't believe a word you say Almighty media, whose truth d'you serve today? Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you? Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to? The more I get to see, the less I understand I'm just another ordinary man CHORUS: Ordinary man Ordinary man Just another ordinary man Comes a time to take a stand No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman Everybody plays the game they played since time began Lawyers and accountant - your media man Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head I see the flash of lightnin' I hear the thunder roll A hungry knife, a slice of life It cuts another soul Power finds a way to those who take a stand Stand up ordinary man Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free But now I feel the chains of its responsibility I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can That's the only answer... for an ordinary man CHORUS No such thing as easy answers You play to win and you take your chances CHORUS Here's to health, here's to wealth May you never doubt yourself CHORUS
