Just an Ordinary Man (piano demo) Songtext
von Elton John

Do you want to count in?
One two one two three four

Counting ships on the sea
Collecting numbers in the breeze
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
In summer sky what man could ask for more
Digging holes in the sand
In search of some forgotten land
Just in case I may discover something there
I could tell the busy world
But I don′t think a busy world would care


For I'm just a man, an ordinary man
With a handful of sand, and a dream
Strange as it may seem
I′m an ordinary man
That's all I am

I'm counting ships on the sea
I′m still collecting numbers in the breeze
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
In summer sky what man could ask for more
Digging holes in the sand
In search of my forgotten buried land
It′s just in case I may discover something there
I could tell the busy world
But I don't think a busy world, they would care

For I′m just a man, an ordinary man
With a handful of sand, and a dream
Strange as it may seem
Strange as it may seem
Strange as it may seem
I'm just an ordinary man
