(Verse 1) You wake up to the sound of a morning breeze The sunlight filterin' through the trees You complain 'bout the coffee, it's a little too cold And the same old story that’s gettin’ old But across the world, or just down the street Someone’s prayin’ for a floor beneath their feet For a roof that doesn't leak when the rain starts to fall For a simple life that you don't notice at all. (Chorus) 'Cause your normal day is someone else’s dream The simple things aren't always what they seem The water from the tap, the shoes on your feet The quiet of the night, the food that you eat Take a breath, look around, find the light in the gray Give thanks for the gift of a "normal" day. (Verse 2) You’re frustrated by the traffic, the slow-movin’ line Worried 'bout the clock and runnin' out of time But somewhere a soul is just wishin’ to walk Or hopin’ for a friend just to sit and to talk You see a sink full of dishes as a chore to be done But it means there was a feast and you’re the lucky one The noise in the hallway, the kids on the floor Are the very same blessings someone’s beggin’ God for. (Chorus) 'Cause your normal day is someone else’s dream The simple things aren't always what they seem The water from the tap, the shoes on your feet The quiet of the night, the food that you eat Take a breath, look around, find the light in the gray Give thanks for the gift of a "normal" day.

(Bridge) It’s easy to look up and want what you see But look to your left at the "used to be" Gratitude is a lens that clears out the blur Making you rich exactly where you were. (Chorus) 'Cause your normal day is someone else’s dream The simple things aren't always what they seem The water from the tap, the shoes on your feet The quiet of the night, the food that you eat Take a breath, look around, find the light in the gray Give thanks for the gift of a "normal" day. (Outro) So when the sun goes down and you close your eyes Don’t let the magic be a surprise Be grateful for the boring, the plain, and the blue Because someone out there is dreaming of being you. Yeah, they’re dreaming of being you. Just a normal day. A beautiful, normal day.
