A/N: As always, the characters belong to Tamora Pierce, and the song, "Ordinary Day" is Michelle Branch's. Please review!!

Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just trying to survive

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy

But he wanted me to stay alive

As he asked if I would come along, I then realized

That I was just who he was looking for

Like a shooting star, he shined
And he said, "Take my hand"

"Come back and live while you can"

"Don't you feel the dreams you have? Please take my hand"
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

Although he did not feel real

For I felt what I had not felt before

And you'd swear those words could heal

As I looked deep into his eyes, his vision held mine

I know he's no stranger, but I felt I've held him for all of time
And he said, "Take my hand"

"Come back and live while you can"

"Don't you feel the dreams you have? Please take my hand"

"Please take my hand"
"Please come with me"

"Please be with me"

"Live out your dreams for time will flee"

"Time will flee, can't you see?"
It seemed like a dream, just an ordinary dream

As I wake in bed

And the boy, the ordinary boy

Was speaking in my head

I can't believe he asked me to come along

Although I know it was real

But as I looked to the door, I saw my friends

Standing there with relief
He had said, "Take my hand"

"Come back and live while you can"

"Don't you feel the dreams you have? Please take my hand"

"Please take my hand"

"Please take my hand"
Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just trying to survive

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy

But he wanted me to stay alive
