Lyrics
Verse 1:
You won't find my name in headlines
No statues in the square
I'm just someone who keeps showing up
When no one else is there
The courage that I carry
Fits inside a quiet day
It's not the kind that shouts out loud
It's the kind that stays
Verse 2:
I learned it from my mother
Who never once complained
About the double shifts and sacrifice
The sunshine through the rain
She taught me that the bravest thing
Isn't always standing tall
Sometimes it's just the getting up
After every fall
Chorus:
Ordinary courage
That's the kind that sees us through
Ordinary courage
In everything we do
Not the roar of battle
But the whisper in the night
That says get up tomorrow
And try to do what's right
Ordinary courage
Ordinary light
Bridge:
(Warm, affirming)
To the ones who pack the lunches
And sit beside the beds
Who hold the hands of strangers
And quiet all the dreads
You may think you're nothing special
But let me tell you true
The world is only standing
Because of ones like you
Final Chorus:
Ordinary courage
You're braver than you know
Ordinary courage
In every seed you sow
Not the kind that makes the movies
Or wins the shining prize
Just the kind that keeps on loving
With open heart and eyes
Ordinary courage
Is the greatest kind alive
Outro:
(Gentle, resolving)
Keep showing up
That's enough
That's ordinary courage
