Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue 
Thought I heard you talking softly 
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio 
Still I can't escape the ghost of youWhat has happened to it all? 
Crazy, some'd say 
Where is the life that I recognize? 
Gone away 

Chorus 
But I won't cry for yesterday 
There's an ordinary world 
Somehow I have to find 
And as I try to make my way 
To the ordinary world 
I will learn to survive 

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say 
“Pride will tear us both apart” 
Well now pride's gone out the window 
Cross the rooftops, run away 
Left me in the vacuum of my heartWhat is happening to me? 
Crazy, some'd say 
Where is my friend when I need you most? 
Gone away 

Chorus 

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed 
Here today, forgotten tomorrow 
Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need 
Ours is just a little sorrowed talkChorusEvery one 
It's my world, I will learn to survive 
Any one 
It's my world, I will learn to survive 
Any one, it's my world 
Every one, it's my world
