When we were children
Like every generation
Our daydreams were wilder than wild
We ruled the world
The moon and the stars
Our kingdom at the bottom at the sea
Then we grew up
And much to our surprise
The world had a different set of rules
We had to make
Our own way through life
Learning what we could along the way
This is the world of everyday people
You've got to understand your fellow man
And when you love those everyday people
You'll find your way through life's eternal plan
Everyone knows
The ways of the world
Spinning in the circle of mankind
Doing what others before us have done
Tracing out the patterns of our lives
This is the world of everyday people
You've got to understand your fellow man
And when you love those everyday people
You'll find your way through life's eternal plan
Everyday people
Everyday people
We believe in everyday people
Everyday people
Everyday people
We believe in everyday people
