Everyday Boy - Joan Armatrading

Well Ive 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 youre somebody special

Somebody who feels

Youre not the first

And you wont be the last

But you are the one

Ill remember

Its gods revenge

Youre surrounded by fear

A compassionate man

You hold people dear

No blame for the mother

Who curses your name

She fears for her son

Its 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

Youre not the first

And you wont be the last

But you are the one

Ill 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
