Lyrics

You see it in your mind
As clear as day
You feel it deep inside
It never goes away

You?re reaching out to touch
It?s just a dream they say
They?re just a waste of time
Ya got no time to play


Chorus A

It ain?t no good to listen to the common man
Don?t loose the fire
The dream is yours
You?ll show them all you can

Verse 2

You taste the sweetness
Of the victory
You leave them all behind
They are the enemy


Up ahead you see the door
To the promised land
It won?t be long
Before they all understand

Chorus B
It slows you down to listen to the Common Man
The dream is real
Its in your grasp
Your doing all you can

Bridge A
There?s a rhythm and a rhyme
You?re moving closer now
Nothing?s gonna stop you
Take what?s yours you?re doin? fine

Verse 3
There?s nothing left
Standing in your way
The doors just open
Not a word to say

It?s all there for the taking
More than you?ll ever need
Pay no attention
To all the hungry mouths to feed

Chorus C
Ya got no time to care about the common man
You?re livin? large
Don?t break your stride
Ya know you?ll do it ?cause you can

Instrumental break

Verse 4
Be careful where you step
On the way to the top
There?s a side to life you?ll miss
If you never stop

Sometimes the grass is greener
And sometimes it?s not
It?s not how much you have
It?s the friends you got

Ch D
Take some time to listen to the Common Man
He has a dream
Look in his eyes
And help him if you can

Bridge B
There is a rhythm and a rhyme
You owe it all to those you left behind
So take the time
To change your mind
