"Sing For the Common Man" Lyrics

(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...
