Phil Va**ar - 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 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.
