Lyrics of Leonard Nimoy's songs

~ Love of the Common People

Livin' on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do?

Tears from little sister
Cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch, for the party to go
Oh, but she'll know, she'll get by

Because she's livin' in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Her daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
And her moma's gonna love her just as much as she can
She can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd loose it in the snow on the ground
Walkin' to town, find a job

You try to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow 
Come through and it chills to the bone,
Oh, you better go home, where it's warm

And you will live in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Your daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your moma's gonna love you just as much as she can
She can

Know that livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
Oh you take 'em in your stride, your family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation,
And of course there's pray, makin' you strong,
Where you belong

And you will live in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Your daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your moma's gonna love you just as much as she can
She can

Oh yeah, you livin' in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Your daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your moma's gonna love you just as much as she can
