[Verse 1]
When I was young I dreamed about
Oh so many places
When I was young I never thought I'd be afraid
The years go by and with them comes
Oh so many changes
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
I pray there's another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray

[Verse 2]
And in my youth I realized nothing lasts forever
I find myself remembering those happy days
Follow me, I'll show you all the colors of the rainbow
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
I pray there's another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray

[Verse 3]
Don't wait, don't be late
You don't have a second left to hesitate
Walk, talk, do it all
Nothing you can do will break the fall
Turn and turn
Tell me what are you seeing
Clear your mind
If you want to be free
Be there
Turn around expectations
Say 'goodbye' to complications
Be there, be there

[Chorus]
I pray there's another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray there's another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray there's another day
I pray there will be an answer
I pray...

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
