Prayer For The Little Man

Calling home on the phone, like a lifeline
Let the voices fill me up, like a drunkard's wine
Another fix, I'm fine
Hang it up, kill the light and just lay there
Think about that girl, we had it all, I swear

And we thought it'd last forever
Then we finalize
But don't matter where I am
Every night when I close my eyes

Say a prayer for the little man
Cause he's gonna need a helping hand
Now and then and I won't be around
Can you just let me know there's an angel looking down?
Say a prayer for the mother's love
Yeah, I hope that it'll be enough
Cause I know that he's tough and he don't understand
Say a prayer for the little man, mmm
Mmm

I remember my daddy's phone calls
Just a kid, I'd always talk to him out in the hall
Keep from setting momma off
So, I've been right in your shoes, son
Never thought, in a million years, I'd be the one who

Thought it'd last forever
Then we finalize
But every night, when I close my eyes

Say a prayer for the little man
Cause he's gonna need a helping hand
Now and then and I won't be around
Can you just let me know there's an angel looking down?
Say a prayer for the mother's love
Yeah, I hope that it'll be enough
Cause I know that he's tough and he don't understand
Say a prayer for the little man, yeah

Say a prayer for the little man
Cause he's gonna need a helping hand
Now and then and I won't be around
Can you just let me know there's an angel looking down?
Say a prayer for the mother's love
Yeah, I hope that it'll be enough
Cause I know that he's tough and he don't understand
Say a prayer for the little man (for the little man)
A prayer for the little man (for the little man)
A prayer for the little man
Oh, yeah
Ooo
