Songs That Relate to My Story

Ordinary -Joriah Kwamé

Amber: I notice how she looks at me but I pretend that I don't see. It's easier if I let the tension subside. I've seen it in the books I read. A magic that you cannot see. There's no limitations. They wear it with pride.

Amber & Ash: But the characters I read never act or look like me. I can't depend on them to lead me through the right door

Ash: And what's the point of falling? When I know I'm only stalling?

Amber & Ash: Cause I have to go back home

Ash: Where I'm just one in the herd, tripping over my words, trying hard to I with the grain, keeping the quirks in my brain.

Amber & Ash: I'm on the brink of discovery I think, but what if I'm dreaming? That's what it seems like?

Amber: Cause this girl thinks I'm part of her world and that new territory's scary

Ash: if I turn the handle, am I asking for a scandal? Should I try to be ordinary? Mmbaaaaaaa! I've always been a little odd. The only pea inside the pod. That's not an expression I'm guessin' oh well. See?! that's exactly what I mean! I'm just as awkward as I seem. Plus she makes me nervous, I hope she can't tell... what is it she sees in this cluster clump of me?

Amber & Ash: or could it maybe be I'm going crazy? And hey! Who am I kidding? This isn't some sweet beginning, just detour to the end' then back to the herd

Ash: tripping over my words

Amber & Ash: trying hard to go with the grain

Ash: Keeping the quirks in my brain, I'm in the brink of discovery I think, but what if I'm dreaming?

Amber: Do I rewind? Reduce amnesia? Pretend I didn't see her, succumb to stupid fear? Or just believe in my heart?

Amber & Ash: Why play a part? Why follow the herd? Why not trust in my words? Don't wanna go with the grain! Why try to make myself plain? I'm on the brink of rediscover I think! So what if I'm dreaming? I like the scene that I'm in! And this girl is apart of this world.

Ash: The thought of being normal's far more scary. I'll be brave

Amber: and I'll be kind, I'll make a choice and change my mind!

Ash: I will mess up all the time, they'll say I'm weird but I'll be fine! I'll be anything but ordinary!
