About This Track
A thoughtful rock song about choosing a modest life over fame or status, finding dignity and courage in everyday routines and meaningful relationships.
Morning train with coffee stain / Paper folded on my knee / Ads for lives I never chased / Staring back at me / Office clock above the hall / Ticks through quiet hours / Hands grow rough on simple work / Building modest towers / They said run toward the roaring crowd / Put your name up big and loud / But I’ll stay ordinary / Where the quiet hours remain / Small rooms full of laughter / After long and honest days / I’ll stay ordinary / Let the spotlight chase someone / There’s courage in the calm / When the racing world runs on / Neighbor fixing up his porch / Kids chalk pictures by the gate / Two old chairs beside the yard / Talking long past eight / No one writing headlines here / No parade or crown / Just a life that holds together / When the sun goes down
