Everyday People

College kids turning 21

And their senior year spring break was here

They headed south, but not for sun

On their skin where the storms had been

It was hard fixing windows

And shingles and doors

And tide never felt so good before

Everyday people

Are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the ones who care

Everyday people

Doctor said, "Good news, we caught it soon enough

We can clear this up"

But she's thirty and single with two kids to raise

Times are tough these days

So her friends made some calls

And the word spread around

How her bills got paid, she don't know how

Everyday people

Are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the ones who care

Everyday people

Everyday people

A little girl takes her mama's hand

And walks inside saying, please don't cry

As the people who built this house just for them

Laugh through the tears as a family moves in

Everyday people

Are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the ones who care

Everyday people
