"They both took their dreams and laid them to sleep
soon after their children were born.
Because you need to provide kids a stable environment,
you need to be steady and strong.
But occasionally he will wake up his dreams
to see how they feel in his hands,
Then he puts them away and goes to work the next day
an ordinary family man."
"She never thought twice about devoting her life
to take care of her daughter and son.
She works every night at a job she don't like,
she does whatever needs to be done.
Occasionally she will dress up her dreams
and ask them if they'd like to dance.
And for an hour or so she lets herself hold
the beautiful dreams in her hands."
"They sit with each other, they wait and they wonder,
On the day their first grandchild is born.
The dreams seem so distant, now everything is different.
They know they are right where they belong.
The child is past two then, a light passes through them,
They both know, they both understand.
As they cradle that baby, they think they just may be
An ordinary woman and man
Who are holding their dream in their hands."
"Ordinary people will lay down their dreams knowing they may not see them again.
They do it for their families with strength and dignity, ordinary women and men.
Ordinary women and men."
