What you see may only be skin deep
But what you feel inside is there for keeps
Can't know happiness 'til you've been sad
But tears drown all that joy you ever had
Talkin' about people
Who spreads wanton hurt
Talkin' about people
Still waiting for their turn
Talkin' about people
Yeah, living in uncertainty
Ordinary people
People like you and me
See 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
Yeah, people like you and me
When hunger bites you deep down inside
You may have nothing else but you've got pride
Until there's nothing to sacrifice
We'll survive, we'll survive
I'm talkin' about people, ordinary people
People like you and me, yeah
Talkin' about people
Existing from day to day
Talkin' about people
Who lost their way
Talkin' about people
Yeah, living by destiny
Ordinary people
Yeah, 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 'til it's gone, together we'll be strong
We'll survive
In this world, we all breathe the same air
We all cherish our children's futures
Never give up until it's gone
We'll survive
