Sing For the Common Man

(Freida Parton - Mark Anderson)



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.



Day 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.



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...
