Prayer of a Common Man

And it's sinking in the sand
But Lord hear the prayer of a common man
I�m not looking for charity, I just need some clarity
Oh, Lord hear the prayer of a common man
Hallelujah, I know you're up there
But Lord hear the prayer of a common man
My little girl needed braces, man it cost a couple thousand bucks
Hallelujah, is anybody up there?

Now Lord hear the prayer of a common man
I never knew what a struggle was like 'til I cried tears on his stone
Hallelujah, I know you care
Hallelujah, is anybody up there?
And I�m up against the wall, Lord hear me when I call
Hallelujah, does anybody care?
Now Lord hear the prayer of a common man
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul but I�m doing the best I can

He was just a cog in their wheel lived and died on the layaway plan
I�ve got people counting on me and I�m tired that�s all

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
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul but I�m doing the best I can
Hallelujah, does anybody care?

Life takes its toll on the heart and soul but I�m doing the best I can
