Verse 1 Feelin’ down on his luck No matter what he tries, it falls apart too much How’s he gonna make a way Feed his family, fight this anxiety Pay all the bills that won’t just go away Layin’ there at night, scared like a child Like they’ll come and take it all away Not much of a man, how can he just stand And watch his whole life burn this way Pre-Chorus Prayin’ for a hand from above Prayin’ angels might come down and help him save the day So hard to be brave When you feel like you’ve failed To be the man he always wanted her to love Chorus Help me God, he says, I’m drownin’ in this pain Daddy always said, “Son, never quit, just keep your faith” But I don’t know what road to take Too old to start, too broke to change Lord, if You hear me now, don’t let me fade away Verse 2 Can’t sell a thing, can’t catch a break Never was too good at learnin’ new ways Wish Dad was still around To help me sort this whole mess out Instead I’m just lost in the weight of these days But I gotta say I thank God every day For the woman lyin’ right here next to me She whispers, “Maybe tomorrow Brings another chance to follow” And I wonder how she still believes in me Pre-Chorus So I take the love she gives Try to build my heart again Maybe today’s the day I finally stand I hear her voice, I lift my head Bow it down and pray instead Tryin’ hard to be a stronger man Chorus Help me God, he says, I’m drownin’ in this pain Daddy always said, “Son, never quit, just keep your faith” But I don’t know what road to take Too old to start, too broke to change Lord, if You hear me now, don’t let me fade away Bridge Then on the darkest day That old telephone rang Voice on the other end said, “Son, you’re gonna be okay” Something opened up Like heaven changed his luck And turned his whole damn world around that day Final Chorus / Outro Help me God… guess You heard me through the pain When I thought the fight was lost, You showed me hope again Daddy, now I understand Sometimes faith is all we have Thank You God… for reachin’ down and takin’ my hand
