I think its fine being famous and rich
And a big star on TV
To make a law, make a scene, make a speech
But when its change the world needs to see

But its ordinary people who change everything

So youre high on applause and youre high on the crowd
And how they all know your name
The room goes quiet when you walk in the door
We all worship you in your fame

But its ordinary people who change everything

The worker fills his days with toil
The planter fills her hands with soil
When war and anger arent enough
Lovers fill their hearts with love

As a boy I got my guitar
And dreamed of where Id go
To be a legend or be a star
But as a grown man now I know

Itss ordinary people who change everything
