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 shigles and doors
and the tide never felt so good before

R: 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 their there 
   They're the one's who care 
   Everyday People

Doctor said "Good News we caught it soon enough, we can clear this up"
But she's 30 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

R:

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 their there 
They're the one's who care 
Everyday people, everyday people, everyday people
