Lyrics
Refrain:
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone.
I hear you call my name and it feels like
Home.
Chorus:
When you call my name, it`s like a little
Prayer. I`m down on my knees, I wanna take you
there. In the midnight hour, I can feel your
Power. Just like a prayer, you know I`ll take you there
I hear your voice, it`s like an angel sighing.
I have no choice, I hear your voice, feels like
Flying. I close my eyes, oh God, I think I`m
Falling, out of the sky. I close my eyes, Heaven
Help me.
Chorus:
When you call my name, it`s like a little
Prayer. I`m down on my knees, I wanna take you
There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your
Power just like a prayer. You know I`ll take
You there.
Like a child, you whisper softly to me. You`re
In control just like a child, now I`m dancing.
It`s like a dream, no end and no beginning.
You`re here with me, it`s like a dream. Let
The choir sing.
Chorus:
When you call my name, it`s like a little
Prayer. I`m down on my knees, I wanna take you
There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your
Power, just like a prayer. You know I`ll take
You there.
Chorus:
When you call my name, it`s like a little
Prayer. I`m down on my knees, I wanna take you
There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your
Power just like a prayer. You know I`ll take
You there.
Refrain:
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone.
I hear you call my name and it feels like
Home.
Bridge:
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me
There. Just like a muse to me , you are a
Mystery. Just like a dream, you are not what
You seem. Just like a prayer, no choice,
Your voice can take me there.
Intermediate:
Just like a prayer, I`ll take you there. It`s
Like a dream to me. Just like a prayer, I`ll
Take you there. It`s like a dream to me. Just
Like a prayer, I`ll take you there. It`s like
A dream to me. Just like a prayer, I`ll take
You there. It`s like a dream to me.
