Backstory:
I wrote this one as an affirmation to how important "ordinary days" are in our busy get-er-done lives.
Lyrics:
Children gigglin' half awake, spillin' milk and frosted flakes - on the floor
Every day's the same routine, washin' faces brushin' teeth - then out the door
The noise of young'uns runnin' round
How I've come to love that sound
It's just an ordinary day
Another link in my life's chain
Each mornin' turns a page
For twenty-four more of the same
I'm thankful for each ordinary day
Saturdays they play non-stop, with the neighbor kids on our block - till after dark
Sundays we go for a drive, half the time we're tryin' to pry - kids apart
The noise of young'uns fussin' loud
The day'll come I miss that sound
It's just an ordinary day
I'm overworked and underpaid
But if you'd ask me what I'd change
I'd say how fast they get away
I'm thankful for each ordinary day
Birthdays, PTA, ballgames are wearin' us out
But someday we'll appreciate 'em - even more than now
It's just an ordinary day
Another link in my life's chain
Each mornin' turns a page
For twenty-four more of the same
It's just an ordinary day
I'm overworked and underpaid
But if you'd ask me what I'd change
I'd say how fast they get away
I'm thankful for each ordinary day
So thankful for each ordinary day
Children gigglin' half awake, spillin' milk and frosted flakes - thank the Lord
