phil vassar - prayer of a common man lyrics
daddy put in his forty years
got his gold watch and then they sent him home
i never knew what a struggle was like ’til i cried tears on his stone
he was just a cog in their wheel lived and died on the layaway plan
but lord hear the prayer of a common man
hallelujah, is anybody up there?
hallelujah, does anybody care?
life takes its toll on the heart and soul but i’m doing the best i can
but lord hear the prayer of a common man
my little girl needed braces, man it cost a couple thousand bucks
she’s got a beautiful smile but it’ll be awhile on my new used pickup truck
this house of cards i built is mortgaged to the hilt
and it’s sinking in the sand
now lord hear the prayer of a common man
hallelujah, is anybody up there?
hallelujah, does anybody care?
life takes its toll on the heart and soul but i’m doing the best i can
now 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
and i’m up against the wall, lord hear me when i call
hallelujah, i know you’re up there
hallelujah, i know you care
life takes its toll on the heart and soul but i’m doing the best i can
oh, lord hear the prayer of a common man
lord hear the prayer of this common man
