Everyday Man (Live)
He gets up before the sunrise every morning
Just to praise the Lord and waken up the day
Take his King James to the table, sips his coffee
And gathers strength as he turns each yellowed page
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
He is an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
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
He is an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
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 an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
Just to praise the Lord and waken up the day
Take his King James to the table, sips his coffee
And gathers strength as he turns each yellowed page
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
He is an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
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
He is an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
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 an everyday man with an everyday 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 everyday faith that makes an everyday man
