The Travels of an Ordinary Man
(Words & Music by Darryl Tookes)

Life keeps on going
It doesn’t stop for anyone
Just when you think you’ve got it figured out
It’s gone to science fiction
And as we orbit Mars
Don’t you see the light
Near the presence of God
Feel my heart beating faster

Circles around the earth
Circles around these eyes
Circles around the man in the moon
Hearing the children’s laughter after school

Folks keep on living
Don't ever stop the things you do
Cause just when you think it’s never working out
It does
You’re a winner
The audience applauds when they see the star
Take her bow in a crowded bar
At the curtain call

When I was only seventeen
Life wasn’t so serpentine
Only serendipity for me
Now that I am wiser
At least I hope I can
Be more than just a one man band
And make someone happy too

Just when you think it’s never working out
It does, you're a winner
The orchestra just soars
And you play a part
You’ll notice a change of heart
Beating stronger
