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 cog in their wheel 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 bad and 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 hilt 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.
Oh Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Lord hear the prayer of this Common Man.
