Ive been praying all the week through
At home, at work and on the bus
Ive been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us

I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
Im just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us

Found a house that wont repair itself
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes
Just because were at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldnt be sadder
Than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
Ive been praying all the week through

So youre saying that were going to be three
Now, a fathers what Ill be
Dont get me wrong, Im so proud
But the belts already tight
Ill get another job at night, but honest

I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
