Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been praying all the week through
At home, at work, and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
[Verse 2]
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
[Verse 3]
Found a house that won't repair itself
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
[Verse 4]
I've been praying all the week through
At home, at work, and on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
[Verse 5]
So you're saying that we're gonna be three
Now a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
I'll get another job at night, but honest
[Verse 6]
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
[Verse 7]
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
[Verse 8]
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
I can earn enough for us
