Gordon Mote Let The Ordinary Make You Happy Lyrics

Big shot, yes you are
Big dreams got you this far
Never let the small stuff slow you down
Time wasted's money spent
Fun is for retirement
There's no time to think about that now
But even though you're running late
Your two-year-old wants patty cake
And if you'll stop to play
It just might make your day
All the joy you've missed
Comes in moments just like this

Let the ordinary make you happy
Let the little things cheer your heart
When the search for something special
Makes you miss the things that are
Let the ordinary make you happy
Be amazed by this life we live
And you'll start to see each day
As the gift it is

Browsing fancy stores
All you need is just one more Something to make others envy you
But parts and warrantees
Storage and accessories
Make you wonder who is buying who
And all this trouble's such a waste
Of this lovely summer's day
Brought to you for free
With everything you need
Take the money you have saved
Buy a stranger lemonade

Rich kid on a plane
Used to being entertained
There's no Playstation at this altitude
Making matters worse
An old grandmother and her nurse
Sit down in the seats right next to you
She says she hasn't flown in years
And talking sometimes calms her fears
And to your great surprise
Her story's quite a ride
And before the journey ends
You've somehow made a friend
