Air From County Derry Songtext / Lyric

I would be true for there are those that trust me

I would be pure for there are those that care

I would be strong for there is much to suffer

I would be brave for there is much to dare

I'd love to do the perfect thing for everyone

but though I try to do the best I can

I do not know if it's that good a job I done

cause after all I'm just an ordinary man






I would be friend of all the weak and friendless

I would be giving and forget the gift

I would be humble for I know my weakness

I would look up and laugh, love and live

But if I fail I need someone to guide me

for though I try to do the best I can

I'm not a hero when no one's beside me

Forgive me, Lord, I'm just an ordinary man

(he's just an ordinary man)
