Jim Johnston Ordinary Child Lyrics:
Words and Music: Jim Johnston Engineered by Kerry
Gansburg Electric guitars and solo: Jim Brammer
Drums: Jeff Wade

Things were perfect, you would be an ordinary
child, nothing else would quite do. Then the news
came, bourne by some neglectful angel, The dreams
that we had, would not quite come through.

I slowly broke down, revealed to me the shadow
that I am, How my heart ached for you, the years
of waiting, wondering was I the one to blame like
they said? Could it be true? I had a painful
lesson yet to learn.

I had forgotten my heart could be broken, learning
through life is a hard thing to do. When I asked
the questions, no answers were spoken, The pain of
that silence reminds me of how I love you.

I see you growing, nothing's ever made me reach
this deep, when they all reject you. Shallow minds
will try to force you into what you're not, What
they say, is not what they do.. One more simple
lesson I have learned.

I had forgotten my heart could be broken, learning
through life is a hard thing to do. When I asked
the questions, no answers were spoken, The pain of
that silence reminds me of how I love you.

I was wondering, if you had grown up ordinary
would you be the same "you"? You'll
never know how, you have made my world a sweeter
place, It's not the pain, it's life spent with
you! Thank you for the lesson I have learned.

I had forgotten my heart could be broken, nothing
worthwhile is that easy to do. When I asked the
questions, no answers were spoken, The pain of
that silence - I have forgotten, I want to tell
you that love is the one thing that matters, and I
love you.
