(Verse 1) Here I am, just your ordinary common man Feel as though I can't walk I can hardly stand I'm just a man, nothing more or less I'm not demanding a check, I'm commanding respect Blue collar class kid trapped in a cage Looking for a way to make more than minimum wage I can't contain, I'm going insane My lifes full of pain I think somethings gotta change Possibly a change of mind or a change of heart Try to make amends but I don't know where to start Due in part, to the reasons I've been seeing I just wanna leave but I can't find my way in the darkness I'm not alone when I say that I've got problems Try to make it make sense now my heads throbbing Keep it poppin, no point in stopping On the brink of despair, so close to sobbing But everything happens for a reason People come and go, kinda like the seasons It's all good, it's just hard to watch them leaving Take it one day at a time, gotta keep breathing I'm seeing, things in a different light I gotta try, to make all the wrongs right I have to fight, to defend what's mine A little piece of me dies, everytime I cry (Chorus) Cry out, cry out your name Like a child, lost and afraid Like a father, you heard my cries and you came (Verse 2) (Here we go again) The first time in a long time I've felt this way Normally pretty quiet with nothing much to say So I forever endeavor to get better At the end of the day I know goods not ok So I pray for, opportunity to improve You want a sample I'll gamble I don't got much to lose I'm coming back, bigger stronger and better than ever So clever, but don't be tempted to test my temper Temporarily out of patience, and out of luck Certain circumstances, making it out without a scuff It's just enough, I let these thoughts compound Short on cash, you know the stuff that makes the world go round Never making a sound, but I cried and you came Pointing fingers at others when I'm the one to blame So we all gotta change, leave behind our former lives Forever faithful, everytime that I (Chorus 2) Cry out, cry out your name Like a child, lost and afraid Like a father, you heard my cries and you came Everytime I cried our, cried out your name Like a child, lost and afraid Like a father, you heard my cries and you came Everytime I cried out, I cried out your name Like a child, lost and afraid Like a father, you heard my cries and you came
