“everyday man”

Verse 1
He gets up before
The sunrise every morning
Just to praise the Lord
And waken up the day
Takes his King James
To the table sips his coffee
And gathers strength
As he turns each yellowed page

Verse 2
Oh those words
Are the only truths he lives by
And every neighbor’s need Becomes his very own
If he looks you in the eye
You know he means it
And the man you see
Is the same good man at home

Chorus
He is an every day man
With an every day life
Don’t seem like much
Looking in from the outside
But what you cannot see
Is what you need to understand
It's an every day faith
That makes an every day man

Verse 3
A whole day's worth of work
Is on his farm boots
The sun is setting
As he wrestles with his boys
Then he holds the only girl
He’s ever wanted
And he loves 'em all
Like he never had a choice

Bridge
One day his face will show
The weathered lines
Age will always chase us down
And steal our time
But everything he sowed
He'll surely reap
'Cause everything he taught
Will help us be (like)
