Everyday People

College kids turning twenty-one

And their senior year spring break was here

They headed south, but not for sun

On their skin where the storms had been

It was hard

Fixing windows and shingles and doors

And the tide never felt so good before

Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people lifting up the world

Like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the one's who care

Everyday people

Doctor said, "Good news, we caught it soon enough, we can clear this up"

But she's thirty and single with two kids to raise, times are tough these days

So her friends made some calls and the word spread around

How her bills got paid, she don't know how

Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people lifting up the world

Like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the one's who care

Everyday people

Everyday people

A little girl takes her mama's hand

And walks inside saying, "Please don't cry"

As the people who built this house just for them

Laugh through the tears as a family moves in

Everyday people are the ones who are making miracles

And it's beautiful

Everyday people lifting up the world

Like an answered prayer

I thank God they're there

They're the one's who care

Everyday people
