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

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

Life is a mystery

Everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

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

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

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

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

Your voice can take me there

Like a prayer

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

It's like a prayer

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

It's like a prayer

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

It's like a prayer

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

It's like a prayer
