  • Well I've never met anyone
    With your courage
    And the way your enjoy life
    Puts me to shame
    Just an hour with you
    And I understand
    Why we had to meet

    I saw you look in the mirror
    And adjust your hair
    Smile and leave the room

    Just an everyday boy
    Doing everyday things
    But you're somebody special
    Somebody who feels
    You're not the first
    And you won't be the last
    But you are the one
    I'll remember

    It's God's revenge
    You're surrounded by fear
    A compassionate man
    You hold people dear
    No blame for the mother
    Who curses your name
    She fears for her son
    It's death by association

    But you respect yourself
    And you let it show
    Some fade with guilt
    And the shame
    They way you
    Tell your story
    With no tears
    For yourself

    Just an everyday boy
    Doing everyday things
    You're not the first
    And you won't be the last
    But you are the one
    I'll remember

    Hey hey
    Just an everyday boy
    Just an everyday boy

    Doing everyday things
    Just an everyday boy
    Just an everyday boy
    Just an everyday boy
    Doing everyday things
    Just an everyday boy Writer/s: JOAN ANITA BARBARA ARMATRADING
