Air From County Derry - Helmut Lotti
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
Cause 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
