Like a Prayer
Glee Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
(Ooh oh, oh)
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.

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, your voice can take me there)
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem




Just like a prayer, no choice,
Your voice can take me there.
