Prayer Of A Common Man Lyrics - Prayer Of A Common Man - Phil Vassar

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
