Crown Me Ordinary

[intro]
I thought the sky would call my name (my name)
When I was old enough to listen (to listen)
But all the constellations stayed the same (the same)
Like something far away I was missing (was missing)


[Verse 1]
I always waited on a prophecy
But it never came to find me
Waited in the space beside the throne
But I’ll be waiting ‘til I’m dust and bone
And I memorized the stories
Of the ones who changed it all
But no one ever wrote about
The ones who watched them fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was meant to be (meant to be)
A face inside the crowd (inside the crowd)
Someone history forgets 
And doesn’t get called aloud

[Chorus]
No halo hanging over me
No kingdom in my hands
No magic in my bloodline
No grand, romantic plans
I’m not the one they’re waiting for
I’m not the one to be adored
If my role is only secondary—
Then just crown me ordinary


[Verse 2]
I practiced for a moment
That was never going to come
Stood ready in the doorway
Hoping I was the chosen one
Every rising hero
Every savior in control
Made me wonder what was wrong
Why I was just a supporting role

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe there’s no hidden spark (hidden spark)
No fate I’m meant to meet (meant to meet)
Just a life that’s passing by 
On quiet, steady feet

[Chorus]
No halo hanging over me
No kingdom in my hands
No magic in my bloodline
No grand, romantic plans
I’m not the one they’re waiting for
I’m not the one to be adored
If my role is only secondary—
Then just crown me ordinary

[vocal solo]

[Bridge]
Not a comet
Not a flame
Not a story
With a name
Just another
Passing light
Gone by morning
Out of sight

[alternate chorus]
No blessing written into me
No stars I’m meant to guide
No prophecy or destiny
Just someone on the side
I’m not the name they call for
When everything falls apart
If I was never meant to lead the story—
Then just crown me ordinary

[Outro]
Someone has to watch the stars
Without becoming one
Someone has to live a life
That history outruns

So Let the heroes have their stories
Let the heavens keep their gifts
I don’t need to be remembered 
I’m done chasing heroic myths

So take the gold, the sword, the victory
And just leave my name out of history
But even if I vanish among the glory—
Then just crown me ordinary
