In the months prior to writing this song I felt like a dam on the brink of breaking although I kept my wits together in public, deep down I felt mediocre, useless and even pointless. On the day that I wrote this song I found out that I had been passed over once again for a promotion at work and I could not wait to get home so that I could let my tears overflow. I had wasted many years in a job that was going nowhere….fast. I felt like my gifts were worthless because I was not making money from them and at the same time I was allowing myself to be oppressed at the very job that I used to pay for my dream.
As I wiped away the tears and got up from the couch a melody rushed through me like violent healing waters, I barely had time to grab my iPhone where I recorded as much of it as I possibly could. The title of the song is “Extraordinary” and I can honestly say that my tears wrote this song and when I look back at the words I now shed tears of joy. Here are the lyrics and soon I will share the audio, enjoy and remember you are extraordinary by design!
Extraordinary
You, you light up the world with your colors
But you seem to hide all the time in the shadows
It’s time, turn on the light
Don’t be afraid that it’s too bright
You no longer need to hide
Take that veil from your eyes
You’re not ordinary
You’re extraordinary
Chorus
Don’t you dim your light
You’re extraordinary
Don’t listen to their lies
You’re not ordinary
You are extraordinary
Extra extra ordinary
Don’t you dim your light
You’re extraordinary
extra extra ordinary
Verse2
Sometimes I feel like I’m blowing in the wind
Keep my head bowed
Cause I don’t trust what is within
But deep down
I got a glow that dispels this shadow
If only I could let it show
I no longer need to hide
Take that veil from my eyes
I’m not ordinary
I’m extraordinary
Chorus
Don’t you dim your light
You’re extraordinary
Don’t listen to their lies
You’re not ordinary
You are extraordinary
Extra extra ordinary
Don’t you dim your light
You’re extraordinary
extra extra ordinary

No carbon copy unique soul
I am extraordinary
Priceless, better than gold
I am extraordinary
Nah succumb to yuh negativity
I am extraordinary
Stepping out of ordinary cause I am extraordinary
Keep on trying to stereotype me
But I won’t fit any theory
Cause I am extraordinary
You are extraordinary
We are extraordinary
Extra extra ordinary
No carbon copy
Unique soul
Chorus rpt.
