'Ordinary World' is such a great melodic and emotional song, a song I think George and I have always loved.

He looks to other people for help, but still feels lost on his search to find a purpose in life if he knows he won't live up to his dreams. He plans on making an impact with the world, but as times passes time realizes he's going to live an ordinary life like everyone else.
