COMMON ONE
Anthem for the Unsung Heroes
Lyrics
This is a song for the common one
This song is dedicated to the ordinary, common people.
Who do everything that's ever been done
It acknowledges those who have accomplished everything imaginable.
Whose hands built the cities
Recognizing the labor and effort of the common people in building cities.
This is a song for you
Reiterating that the song is specifically for these individuals.
This is a song for my brothers and friends
Dedicated to the singer's brothers and friends.
It's been said before but I'll say it again
While the sentiment has been expressed before, it's worth saying again.
We fight the same battle that no one can win
Highlighting the common struggle that seems unwinnable.
This is a song for you
Reaffirming the dedication of the song to this group.
I sing for the hungry
The singer is addressing and singing for those who are hungry.
The tired and the torn
Dedicating the song to the tired and the torn.
For the ones with no chance
For those with seemingly no opportunities since birth.
From the day they were born
Singing for individuals facing challenges from their earliest days.
I sing to the battered
Expressing solidarity with those who have endured hardships.
The beaten and the worn
Singing for those who have been beaten and worn down.
This is a song for you
Reiterating that the song is dedicated to this collective group.
This is a song for the rank and the file
Dedicated to the rank and file, the ordinary members of a group.
Who take the first step
Commending those who take the first step, go the extra mile.
Who go to the last mile
Applauding those who go to the last mile in their efforts.
From the great Mississipi
From the great Mississippi to the river called Nile, emphasizing inclusivity.
To the river called Nile
Reiterating that the song is for this broad and diverse audience.
This is a song for you
Reaffirming the dedication of the song to the common people.
I sing to the honest
Dedicating the song to the honest, upright, and tall individuals.
To the upright and tall
Singing for those who continue to fight despite challenges.
To the ones who are still fighting
Specifically acknowledging those who are still engaged in the struggle.
In spite of it all
Dedicated to those who will endure and rebuild after setbacks.
Who will pick up the pieces
Recognizing those who will pick up the pieces after a downfall.
After the fall
Highlighting the resilience of individuals even after facing challenges.
This is a song for you
Reiterating that the song is ultimately for this diverse and resilient group.
