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 

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

Found a house that won't repair itself 
With it's 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 
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 

So you're saying that we're going to 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 

I can take humiliation 
And hurtful comments from the boss 
I'm just praying by the weekend 
I can earn enough for us 
Just because we're at 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 

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
