Fanfare For The Common Man
Written by Aaron Copland
Lead vocals by James Young
another new day takes up on you
a fanfare wakes the land
the naked lives just a shining down
at the dawn of the common man
outside in the madding crowd
he laughs along the way
traffic city, what a pity
it doesn't have a word to say
troubled people, billions of people
they can't seem to understand
the ringing ears are unable to hear
the sounds of the natural plan
yeah yeah yeah
