The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.
