(Swing Out Sister)
What you see may only be skin deep
But what you feel inside is there for keeps
Can`t know happiness `till you`ve been sad
But tears drown all the joy you ever had
Talkin` about people
Who spreads wanton hurt?
Talkin` about people
Still waiting for their turn
Talkin` about people
Living in uncertainty
Ordinary people
People like you and me
Seen your life before you slip away
Hanging on to every Irish day
Can`t keep up the face
But can`t slow down
Life`s a rat race there`s no short way around
Talkin` about people
Who didn`t make the grade?
Talkin` about people
Who`s just another paid?
Talkin about people
Holdin` on for dignity
Ordinary people
People like you and me
You may have nothing else but you`ve got pride
You have nothing else but you`ve got pride
Until there`s nothing to sacrifice
We`ll survive
We`ll survive
Talkin` about people
Talkin` about people
Existing from day to day
Talkin` about people
Who lost their way?
Talkin` about people
Living by destiny
Ordinary people
Like you and me
When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else but you`ve got pride
And when there`s nowhere to run or hide
You`ll find there`s no short cut and there`s no
Rewrite
Until there`s nothing to sacrifice
We`ll survive
Never give up till it`s gone
Together we`ll be strong
We`ll survive
(Spoken)
In this we breathe the same air
We cherish our children
Never give up until it`s gone
We`ll survive
