Reba McEntire & Carol King - Everyday People lyrics

rate me

College kids turning twenty-one<br />

And their senior year spring break was here<br />

They headed south but not for sun<br />

On their skin where the storms had been<br />

<br />

It was hard fixing windows<br />

And shingles and doors<br />

And tide never felt so good before<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Are the ones who are making miracles<br />

And it's beautiful<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer<br />

I thank God they're there<br />

They're the ones who care<br />

Everyday people<br />

<br />

Doctor said, "Good news, we caught it soon enough<br />

We can clear this up"<br />

But she's thirty and single with two kids to raise<br />

Times are tough these days<br />

<br />

So her friends made some calls<br />

And the word spread around<br />

How her bills got paid she don't know how<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Are the ones who are making miracles<br />

And it's beautiful<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer<br />

I thank God they're there<br />

They're the ones who care<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Everyday people<br />

<br />

A little girl takes her mama's hand<br />

And walks inside saying, please don't cry<br />

As the people who built this house just for them<br />

Laugh through the tears as a family moves in<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Are the ones who are making miracles<br />

And it's beautiful<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Lifting up the world like an answered prayer<br />

I thank God they're there<br />

They're the ones who care<br />

<br />

Everyday people<br />

Everyday people<br />

Everyday people
