Lyrics
Not an ordinary life
Not an ordinary life
You left the ground took to flight
Left darkness to catch the light
Not an ordinary light
Shooting star, comet bright
Burns so hot, burns so long
Short time here then you're gone
But the love inside of you still remains
We wear it close to us
To help fight the pain
So sad are those of us left behind
Selfish really cause we'll see you in due time
Not an ordinary soul,
Never gave half, always whole
Gave so much to so many
Never your self asked for any
Not an ordinary soul
Hard for the earth to hold
Restless spirit found the light
But your love with us still remains
We wear it close to us
To help fight the pain
So sad are those of us left behind
Selfish really cause we'll see you in due time
Not an ordinary life
Not an ordinary light
Not an ordinary soul,
Not an ordinary soul,
