Sing for the Common Man

You may not know me now

But I have been around

You'll never see my name on any pages

I'm just the common man

The fool who understands

The pain you go through

When life takes you under

So, sing for the common man

A song for the common man

He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow

He will survive, he will survive

You may not know my mother

My sisters or my brothers

Yet everyone has given for the other

You know the working man

He builds what others plan

So, everyone of us should sing his story

So, sing for the common man

A song for the common man

He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow

He will survive, he will survive

Dat after day

He keeps working away

In offices, factories, and farms

Year after year

He sheds tear after tear

He will provide, he will survive

So, sing for the common man

A song for the common man

He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow

He will survive, he will survive

So, sing for the common man

A song for the common man

He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow

He will survive, he will survive

Sing for the common man

A song for the common man

He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow

He will survive, he will survive

So, sing for the common man

A song for the common man
