life is a mystery everyone must stand alone i hear you call my name and it feels like home 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 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 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 just like a prayer i ll take you there it s like a dream to me
