Vassar Phil - 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 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.

Oh Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.

Lord hear the prayer of this Common Man.
