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
