Original song: Ordinary by Joriah Kwame

I see how he looks a’ me
Bu’ haf’a preten’ I don’ see
I’ will be easier to le’ the tension dissolve
‘Ve seen i’ in the books Celly reads
A special magic on’y a changeling can see
They have no limi’ations,
They wear i’ with pride!

Bu’ the charac’ers she reads ne’er ac’ or look like me!
How can I be sure tha’ they’ll take me to the righ’ door?
Whas’ the poin’ of e’en falling if deep down I know ‘m s’alling?
‘Cause then I have to go home…

Where ‘m jus’ a par’ of the herd
Trippin’ an’ stumblin’ o’er my words
Tryin’ hard to go with the flow
Keep my quirks from showin’
On the brink of discov’ry I thin’
Bu’ wha’ if ‘m jus’ dreamin’?
Tha’s wha’ this seems like

‘Cause this boy thinks ‘m par’ of his world
An’ new ter’tory is scary
If I turn the han’le is tha’ askin’ for a scan’al?
Shouldn’ I try to be ord’nary?
Arghh!
‘Ve a’ways been a little odd
The on’y pea inside my pod
Tha’s no’ an ‘xpression, ‘m jus’ guessin’
Oh well
See?! Tha’s ‘xactly wha’ I mean!
‘M jus’ as awkward as I seem
An’ he makes me so nervous
I-I hope he can’ tell…

Wha’ does he see in this clus’er clump of me?
Or maybe ‘m jus’ goin’ crazy
Hey, who ‘m I kidding!
This isn’ some sweet beginning
Jus’ a detour to the end

Back in’o the herd
Trippin’ an’ stumblin’ o’er my words
Tryin’ hard to go with the flow
Keep my quirks from showin’
On the brink of discov’ry I think
Bu’ wha’ if ‘m jus’ dreamin’?

Do I rewind ‘gain? Induce amnesia?
Preten’ I didn’ no’ice him?
Go agains’ my trainin’ an’ succumb to stupid fear?
Or do wha’ I was taugh’ an’ believe in my heart?
Why should I play a part?

Why do I need to follow the herd?
Why no’ jus’ trus’ in my words?
Don’ wanna go with the flow!
Why should I make myself plain?
On the brink of rediscov’ry I think!
So wha’ if ‘m dreamin’?
I like the scene ‘m in!

And this boy is par’ of my world!
The though’ of bein’ normal is way more scary!
I’ll be brave an’ I’ll be kind!
I’ll make a choice an’ change my mind!
So wha’ if I mess up all the time?
They may say ‘m weird bu’ ‘m fine!
‘Cause I’ll ge’ to be an’thing bu’ ord’nary!
