Everyday People (Carol King)

College kids turning twenty-one And their senior year spring break was here They headed south but not for sun On their skin where the storms had been It was hard fixing windows And shingles and doors And tide never felt so good before Everyday people Are the ones who are making miracles And it's beautiful Everyday people Lifting up the world like an answered prayer I thank God they're there They're the ones who care Everyday people Doctor said, "Good news, we caught it soon enough We can clear this up" But she's thirty and single with two kids to raise Times are tough these days So her friends made some calls And the word spread around How her bills got paid she don't know how Everyday people Are the ones who are making miracles And it's beautiful Everyday people Lifting up the world like an answered prayer I thank God they're there They're the ones who care Everyday people Everyday people A little girl takes her mama's hand And walks inside saying, please don't cry As the people who built this house just for them Laugh through the tears as a family moves in Everyday people Are the ones who are making miracles And it's beautiful Everyday people Lifting up the world like an answered prayer I thank God they're there They're the ones who care Everyday people Everyday people Everyday people
