Tom Hipps: Music
From Ordinary
(Tom Hipps)
1998
Tom Hipps/Gordon Overing
An early rocker that Gordy and I wrote. The production perhaps sounds a bit dated, but it still hums along pretty nicely.
reaching far and wide
passing up my former limits
right by my side
purifying every step i take
i never feel like i'm alone
in the darkness or the cold
my fate is sealed by the throne
my feet on streets of gold
ooh the changes you gave me
a holiday from harm
ooh you needed to save me
from ordinary
looking back in time
makes me wonder how i made it
an uphill climb
struggle makes the outcome so much more
i'm giving more now than i take
a reinvented soul
each needed difference that i make
puts the pieces back to whole
i've tried to learn to live without
the demons i have beaten down
whatever pain i'm feeling now
is only temporary
