Phil Vassar - 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.
