He lived in the hills, in the rain and cold
And was bound to die before he got old
Didn't have a job, wife or family
But he had a strong heart of integrity
He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
A common man with a simple plan
To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
For the common man
He chose to hang around with folks of low renown
There were plenty of clowns tryin' to shake him down
But he could see right through their hypocrisy
'Cause he knew the real truth that'll make us free
He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
A common man with a simple plan
To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
For the common man
Yeah, they were looking for a big time hero
Looking for a different kind of king
But you know, for all you who've got the blues. . .
It's good news he brings
He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
A common man with a simple plan
To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
For the common man
And he can lift us up, from the sinkin' sand
Yeah, lend us all a hand and help us stand up
Oh, yes he can, for the common man
