Original Cast of Ordinary Days
Life Story (Reprise)
[WARREN]
Everyone’s got a
Big picture
That guides them through life
Toward what they want to be

So, if everyone’s got a
Big picture
How come my picture’s something
That I still have yet to see?

This is a flyer
That’s been in my backpack
For weeks now

Buried down deep
Getting faded and wrinkled
And torn

I have been making these flyers
'Til kingdom come
Writing all of these words
That now seem kind of dumb

And it’s hard not to feel
That this isn’t my real
Life story
I imagined I’d come here
And do something big
That the artist in me would prevail

But all I’ve done so far is copy
These words from some hippie downtown
Who’s sitting in jail

Well...

This is a guy
Who cannot be described
As a quitter

This is a guy
Who should do
What he set out to do

You might snicker and laugh
That it’s so cliché
To think making these means
I’ve got something to say

But I do, and that’s why
I wish they could be my
Life story
My life story
My life…
