5.Prayer Of A Common Man
Daddy put in his forty years,
got his gold watch, and then they sent him home.
I never knew what a struggle was like
until I cried tears on his stone.
He was just a kinder-will lived
and died on the layaway plan.
But Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Alleluia. Is anybody out there？
Alleluia Does anybody care？
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
A little girl needed braces
but it cost a couple thousand bucks.
She has a beautiful smile
but it'll be awhile on my new／used pickup truck.
This house of cards I built is mortgaged to the hills
and its sinking in the sand.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Alleluia. Is anybody out there？
Alleluia Does anybody care？
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
I'm not looking for charity,
I just need some clarity.
I've got people counting on me.
And I'm tired that's all
I'm up against the wall.
Lord hear me when I call.
Alleluia. I know your up there.
Alleluia. I know you care.
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Lord hear the prayer of this Common Man.
