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 its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
just like a prayer you know Ill take you there

Verse 1
I hear your voice, its like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice, feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God, I think Im falling
out of the sky, I close my eyes, heaven help me

Chorus 2
Verse 2
Like a child you whisper softly to me
Youre in control, just like a child now Im dancing
Its like a dream, no end and no beginning
its like a dream, let the choir sing

Interlude 1
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name and it feels like home

Interlude 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
