Ordinary Day

創作背景

凡妮莎·卡爾頓在17歲時創作了這首歌，這是她創作出來的第一首歌曲。凡妮莎表示創作這首歌時腦袋裡的思路非常奇妙，她就坐下寫了這首歌。

Just a day,

Just an ordinary day.

Just tryin to get by.

Just a boy,

Just an ordinary boy.

But he was looking to the sky.

And as he asked if I would come along

I started to realize

That everyday he finds

Just what he's looking for,

Like a shooting star he shines.

He said take my hand,

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand.

As he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

Although they did not feel, now

For I felt what I had not felt before

You'd swear those words couldn't heal.

As I looked up into those eyes

His vision borrows mine

And to know he's no stranger,

For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand

In the palm of your hand

Please come with me,

See what I see.

Touch the stars for time will not flee.

Time will not flee.

Can you see

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
