What I have is nothing to my name

No property to speak of

And no trophy for my game

Intangible and worthless

My assets on the page

My coffers are empty

Any offer of safety has faded away

But what I have

What I have is


On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You take what I can give and you treasure it

On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You turn to me and say, I believe in this


That makes me lucky

God, I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be

'Cause what I have (what I have)

Means so very little to this world

A promise that I kept and a bridge that I saved before it burned

The sacrifice that I made

Brought me to my knees

A choice that cost me everything and set somebody else free

But what I have

Is the value that you see in these things


On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You take what I can give and you treasure it

On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You turn to me and say, I believe in this


That makes me lucky

God I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be

'Cause what I have

Is the value that you see in these things


And everytime I forget those things you bring them right back to me


With your patience

When I'm blinding mad

And your passion

When I'm really, really bad

And your eyes

Taking in everything I am

And your body and soul and the way that you know

How I treasure you


On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You take what I can give and you treasure it

On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You turn to me and say, I believe in this


That makes me lucky

God I'm so lucky

So much luckier than I ever thought I'd be


On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You take what I can give and you treasure it

On an ordinary day

The extraordinary way

You turn to me and say, I believe in this
