| I have dreamed a dream, there a common man
|
| Ah, hoping to rise to the top
|
| I have sworn by my blood as your man, my love
|
| That one day, I promise
|
| One day your hurting would stop
|
| But I’ll never never never never change
|
| I never change one single grain of sand
|
| Oh, thanks to you baby
|
| For just loving a common man
|
| I want to thank you this evening
|
| Oh, I thought, I thought that I failed you so
|
| But that’s when you turn around and look me in my eyes
|
| And you let me know
|
| You said and you said it softly
|
| I didn’t have to worry about being a common man
|
| You said, «David, you don’t have to worry about rising to the top»
|
| You said, you said, you said I didn’t have to swear by my blood
|
| But ah baby, that one day your heartaches would stop
|
| Then you put your arms around me and you said
|
| You never never never never cared
|
| If I never change one single grain of sand
|
| You said, «I love you, baby
|
| I love you for just being a common man»
|
| For my gratitude just keep on growing
|
| Yeah, for recognizing me, I thank you baby
|
| Yeah, for respecting me, yeah I want to thank you, baby
|
| For every time of need, Lord, I thank you baby
|
| Oh for my gratitude, for respecting me, baby
|
| For just being a common man
|
| Ah I want to thank you babe
|
| In a time of need, I want to thank you for respecting me
|
