Every Man

I'm the man with all I've ever wanted,

all the toys and playing games.

I am the one who pours your coffee,

corner booth each Saturday.

I am your daughter's fav'rite teacher,

I'm the leader of the band.

I sit behind you in the bleachers.

I am ev'ry man.

I'm the coach of ev'ry winning (D)team,

and still a loser in my mind.

I am the soldier in the airport facing giants one more time.

I am the woman shamed and haunted by the cry of unborn life.

I'm ev'ry broken man, nervous child,

lonely wife.

(G)Is there hope for ev'ry man,

a solid place where we can stand?

In this dry and weary land,

is there hope for ev'ry man?

Is there love that never dies?

Is there peace in troubled times?

Someone help me understand.

Is there hope for ev'ry man?

(C)It seems there's just so (Em)many roads to (D)travel;

it's hard to tell where they will lead.

My life is scarred and my dreams unraveled,

and now I'm scared to take the (C)leap.

If I could find someone to follow,

who knows my pain and feels the weight,

the uncertainty of my tomorrow, the guilt and pain of yesterday.

(Cm)Is there hope for ev'ry man?

(G)There is hope for ev'ry man,

a solid place where we can stand.

In this dry and weary land,

there is hope for ev'ry man.

There is love never dies, there is peace in troubled times.

Will we help them understand?

Jesus is hope for ev'ry man.

There is hope for ev'ry man,

a solid place where we can stand.

In this dry and weary land,
