Commonwealth is a traditional English term for a political community founded for the common good. Historically, it has sometimes been synonymous with "republic".
More recently it has been used for fraternal associations of some sovereign nations. Most notably, the Commonwealth of Nations, an association primarily of former members of the British Empire, is often referred to as simply "the Commonwealth".
The English noun commonwealth in the sense meaning "public welfare; general good or advantage" dates from the 15th century. The original phrase "the common-wealth" or "the common weal" (echoed in the modern synonym "public weal") comes from the old meaning of "wealth," which is "well-being", and is itself a loose translation of the Latin res publica (republic). The term literally meant "common well-being." In the 17th century the definition of "commonwealth" expanded from its original sense of "public welfare" or "commonweal" to mean "a state in which the supreme power is vested in the people; a republic or democratic state."
The Honourable Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, C.D. ( /ˈjuːseɪn/; born 21 August 1986), is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 metres relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, and is one of only seven athletes (along with Valerie Adams, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jacques Freitag, Yelena Isinbayeva, Jana Pittman, Dani Samuels) to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event.
Bolt won a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist at the time (since surpassed by Jacko Gill). In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, he became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in less than 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking the previous world junior record held by Roy Martin by two-tenths of a second. He turned professional in 2004, and although he competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics, he missed most of the next two seasons due to injuries. In 2007, he broke Don Quarrie's 200 m Jamaican record with a run of 19.75 s.
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. She is also head of state of the Crown Dependencies.
Elizabeth was born in London, and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. On the death of her father in 1952, she became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon. Her coronation service in 1953 was the first to be televised. Between 1956 and 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became republics. Today, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

In the jungles of Asia. Under African skies.
In the mountains of China assemble the wise.
Crossing frontiers and borders, all around the world.
Watch in joyous amazement as the Kingdom unfurls.
1st Chorus:
Casting aside the old foolish ways
Keeping a watch for the Ancient Of Days.
Holding our eyes to the east for His return.
Gathered together the greatest and least
His church and His bride, His kingdom of priests.
Shout His name in one accord, the Way the Truth the Life.
And He is there to guide us along 'til the end of time.
He is there in the whole of creation great and sublime.
If there are two who close their eyes, lift their hands in prayer,
Softly call His name and He is there.
Tell me brothers and sisters,
What have we to fear when the power of heaven is present here.
We must trust in His promise given for us to share to be children of God His eternal heirs.
2nd Chorus:
Hear the call woman, man and child,
To experience comfort and mercy mild.
Bask in His love let the madness melt away.
Touched by hands that have healed and bled
The poor and the needy are gently led.
Dead to earth alive in heaven call upon His name.
And He is there to guide us along 'til the end of time.
He is there in the whole of creation great and sublime.
If there are two who close their eyes, lift their hands in prayer
Softly call His name and He is there.
Hear the call woman, man and child
To experience comfort and mercy mild.
Bask in His love let the madness melt away.
Touched by hands that have healed and bled
The poor and the needy are gently led.
Dead to earth alive in heaven call upon His name.
And He is there to guide us along 'til the end of time.
He is there in the whole of creation great and sublime.
If there are two who close their eyes, lift their hands in prayer
Shout His name in one accord, the Way the Truth the Life.
And He is there, to guide us along 'til the end of time.
And He is there in the whole of creation great and sublime.
If there are two who close their eyes lift their hands in prayer
He sits and hears the story of his life; his tears fall down like rain as he begins to realize
And wish that i was near to you, and wish that i was there again
Life is more than gold; friends are more than old; memories are the commonwealth
Thinking about the only Son, that He may have forgotten
You know you were the only one, putting yourself in the place of that man
Thanking God as the time passes by, another man does the same,
He thinks about the reasons why, maybe she was the one to blame...
Life is more than gold, friends are more than old, memories are the commonwealth
Because you couldn’t be controlled?
Because it was to fucking cold?
Okay cool it sounds like we gained some elbow room.
And check it out.
We just block our ears when they constantly complain
they’re not some place else.
A lack of interest avoiding upsets.
Now knowing the unknown I’m going home
‘cause I’ve been’ around the block and seen
The hot swamp palm trees, Corpus Christie’s,
cornfield truck stops, earthquake faults, it’s all the
same to me!
It's all the same to me.
I’d rather spend my days just sipping coffee where the
humble seasons change.
I was born in Massachusetts.
No regrets and no excuses.
I was born in Massachusetts.
