Matt Hammitt | Average (Official Lyric Video)

Average

Thought everything I touched would turn to gold
When I was growing up that’s what I was told
If you would only dare to dream
Then you can take it
If you believe you can be someone
You’re gonna make it

But what if I’m average, average
Maybe I’ll never become rich or famous
I know it’s hard to believe
But what if what I’m meant to be
Is average

I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to believe
I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to believe

Throwing my time to the wishing well
Wishin’ that I could be someone else
What if I ditch the mission
Of being one in a million
And what if i built a life with love
What if I let that be enough
Cause I wanna live in the moments
Cause most of life you know is

Average, average
Maybe I’ll never become rich or famous
I know it’s hard to believe
What if what I’m meant to be
Is average

I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to believe I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to believe

This is a song for everyone
Who’s felt left out or left behind
The underdog, the underpaid
Misunderstood or stuck in line
No matter who you are
No matter what your pocketbook can buy
Look at the priceless people standing by our side

So what if we’re average, average
Maybe we’ll never become rich or famous
I know it’s hard to believe
But what we’re all meant to be
Average, average
Maybe we never become rich or famous Maybe we start to believe
In the beauty of just being
Average

This is the voice that makes me love Sanctus Real. I'm glad it's still singing.

[GodsgalMN]

The lyrics you write are just wonderful! Ty!
The truth really is that
most of us and our lives are - A V E R A G E. Yeh! It’s ok. To God, we are His and we are Precious! 💖 🙏🏼

[InfoLunix]

There's always pressure on us to be rich, famous, entrepreneurs, leaders... I've never related to any of that.

[mikeponzi]

Sanctus real isn't sanctus real without you. But thank God you still are doing amazing music

Matt Hammitt Lyrics
"Average"

Thought everything I touched would turn to gold
When I was growing up that's what I was told
If you would only dare to dream
Then you can take it
If you believe you can be someone
You're gonna make it

But what if I'm average, average
Maybe I'll never become rich or famous
I know it's hard to believe
But what if what I'm meant to be
Is average

I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe
I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe

Throwing my time to the wishing well
Wishin' that I could be someone else
What if I ditch the mission
Of being one in a million
And what if I built a life with love
What if I let that be enough
'Cause I wanna live in the moments
'Cause most of life you know is

Average, average
Maybe I'll never become rich or famous
I know it's hard to believe
What if what I'm meant to be
Is average

I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe
I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe

This is a song for everyone
Who's felt left out or left behind
The underdog, the underpaid
Misunderstood or stuck in line
No matter who you are
No matter what your pocketbook can buy
Look at the priceless people standing by our side

So what if we're average, average
Maybe we'll never become rich or famous
I know it's hard to believe
What we're all meant to be
Average, average
Maybe we never become rich or famous
Maybe we start to believe
In the beauty of just being
Average

I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe
I know it's hard
I know it's hard to believe

OMG. I just cannot believe it only got 153 likes. Matt, I am crazy about this song nowadays. Your voice is so powerful and sincere. I believe this song should be heard by more people. BTW, try playing it 1.25 times faster :) I think it's better. - Love from South Korea.

That's me, but with God- I'm awesome❤😁

[talondiwisch]

Interesting song... I get the intention I think of it, but I don't really think God looks at any of us as average...
