Once a year we gather on miners row
And lay at the stone a wreath and a rose
Pray for a better day and when it comes around
we'll all be standing on common ground
Where the poorest of people have all that they need
And all men are free from the talons of greed
On that morning we'll awake to the sound
Of people rejoicing on common ground
Where nobody cares about he color of your skin
Which God you choose or the country you live in
When all the battles are already won
We'll bury the sabre and silence the gun
Once a year we gather on miners row
And lay at he stone a wreath and a rose
Pray for a better day and when it comes around
We'll all be standing on common ground
We'll all be standing on common ground
