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.
