[Intro]
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus 1]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I'm gonna 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 (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 (I close my eyes)
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven, help me

[Chorus 1]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
Down on my knees
I'm gonna 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 (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 (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 1]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I'm gonna 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'm gonna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer I'm gonna take you there

[Intro Reprise]
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus 2]
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 (It's like a dream to me)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me (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 (It's like a dream to me)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me (It's like a dream to me)

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (in the midnight hour)
It's like a dream to me (I'm gonna take you there)

It's like (take me there)
It's like (take me there)
It's like (take me there)
It's like (take me there)

[Outro]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I'm gonna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
