Lyrics

[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (Oh yeah)
It's like a dream to me (Oh)
[Chorus]
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there (It's like a prayer)
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery (Your voice can take me there)
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem (It's like a prayer)
Just like a prayer, no choice, your voice can take me there
[Chorus]
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there (It's like a prayer)
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery (Your voice can take me there)
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem (It's like a prayer)
Just like a prayer, no choice, your voice can take me there
[Chorus]
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer (It's like a prayer)
[Outro]
It's like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
It's like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
