Mostafa Elsaadi - Ordinary Days

D
Oh, another morning
Another ordinary day day
I woke up to the same old window, same
Old street beneath the sun
Another cup beside the silence
Another day already begun
I thought my life would start someday when
I had somewhere else to go.
When the money came.
When the time was right when
I finally
I finally became someone
I could know so
I kept chasing bigger moments
Kept my eyes behind today
Why little pieces of forever
Were quietly passing my way
I never heard them all
When the ordinary turn gold
I never knew the little things were the stories
I one day hold
Ordinary days
Ordinary days.
Baby, they were never ordinary.
The morning light.
The familiar face.
The little things i
I couldn't see
The ordinary days
I was waiting for my
Life to start.
But maybe life was
Happening in the quiet
All along
All alone
There were nights around a table.
Little jokes
I can't recall.
Someone laughing
In the kitchen.
Someone waiting down the hall.
There were roads
I drove a
Thousand times thinking they would
Always stay.
I never stopped to feel the sunlight falling softly on my face.
I
Wanted fireworks and answers, something
Bright enough to prove that
I was
Finally living.
Now
I know
I never had
To move because time doesn't knock
Before it leaves you.
Doesn't whisper
When it's gone.
One day you turn around
And realize the moment you miss is the one you're standing on
Ordinary days
These ordinary days, baby.
They were
Never ordinary.
The morning light, the familiar face, the little things i
Couldn't see
Ordinary days.
I was waiting for my life
To start.
Maybe life was happening in the quiet
All along
Maybe the perfect life was never waiting
Somewhere else.
Maybe it was hidden
Inside the days
I wanted to escape
Maybe the greatest memories don't arrive
With thunder.
Maybe they enter quietly
Sit beside you
And leave before you know
They were beautiful
Look around heat.
Heat.
Heat
Ordinary day orary
Oh, maybe they were everything
Ordinary life
M maybe they were they were never ordinary.
Every little moment was a
Piece of who
I'd be.
Every laugh, every moment, every face
I got to see.
I was
Waiting for tomorrow while today was
Carrying me
Your ordinary days now
I finally understand
The life
I kept on waiting for was already in my hands
Ordinary days
The days
I miss
Where the days
I live
Another ordinary day baby
That's the beautiful part
