*Ordinary Day

This is strong—emotionally clear, consistent, and very singable. You’ve got a solid theme (mortality + urgency of love) that carries all the way through, which is exactly what a good song needs. -- Lyrics: -- Verse 1 Your death will come on an ordinary day, Not the one you planned, not the one you prayed. Coffee’s still warm, the list half‑done, A message unsent, a race never run. Pre‑Chorus And the world won’t pause, it won’t wait for you, The birds keep singing, the laughter breaks through. The clock keeps ticking, it won’t even sway, Life keeps moving on an ordinary day. Chorus So wake up now, don’t drift away, Speak the words you meant to say. Hold them close, don’t let them fade, Love is lived on an ordinary day. Verse 2 Not when the timing feels just right, Not after the long, forgiving night. It comes in the middle of the small and plain, In the heartbeat steady, in the gentle rain. Pre‑Chorus And the world won’t pause, it won’t wait for you, The birds keep singing, the laughter breaks through. The clock keeps ticking, it won’t even sway, Life keeps moving on an ordinary day. Chorus So wake up now, don’t drift away, Speak the words you meant to say. Hold them close, don’t let them fade, Love is lived on an ordinary day. Bridge Make the call, stay at the table, Say the thing while you are able. The ordinary is all we own, Don’t sleepwalk through the life you’re shown. Final Chorus So wake up now, don’t drift away, Speak the words you meant to say. Hold them close, don’t let them fade, Love is lived on an ordinary day. -- *Song derived from a story I found online.
