I rewrote an older song of mine to submit to the American Idol Songwriting Competition

Ordinary Life

(Chorus)

Sometimes in the middle
Of an ordinary life
Love hands you a fairy tale
It doesn't matter how
Life's treated you so far
Or if you've seen dreams fail

(Verse 1)

You'll get memories to treasure
They'll bring you feelings you can't measure
Wanting something so, you feel it in your soul
Let your dreams take you there, and they will make you whole
So don't let them go
Babe don't you know

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)

You’ve been standing on the threshold
So step on through the door and watch it all unfold
Your heart, your soul, and your dreams will be your guide
So set your spirit free don't lock it up inside
You know you gotta try
So spread your wings and fly….

(Bridge)

Can’t you see it’s happening
It’s all right there before you
Reach on up and hold on tight
And let the dream flow through you.....


(Final Chorus)

Sometimes in the middle
Of an ordinary life
Love hands you a fairy tale
It's what you do with what you’re given
That will point you down that road
