Letra de 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 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
