Love of the Common Man

Todd wrote so eloquently about this thought
the world is not run by princes or kings
it's not about the fancy things you bought
or the owners of gold and diamond rings

the elite who spend their time building their crown
soon pass on only to be replaced by another
the world is more than a pretty face in a gown
our world is the common man and his brother

the hard work and dedication to man the wheel
to seek a brighter future for our fellow man
nothing comes for free there is no special deal
love for each other we must give as much as we can

no one knows the future there is no crystal ball
no one truly knows the past and where it all began
this world with all it's mysteries we wish we knew it all
but this world continues on the love of the common man
