Like A Prayer
Marta Sango 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...

And it brings a sense of comfort and familiarity

Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Out of the heavens, I shut my eyes


Heaven help me
May heaven guide me through this experience


Like a child you whisper softly to me
You speak to me in a gentle, childlike tone


You're in control just like a child
You are in command, yet innocent like a child


Now I'm dancing
Now I'm exultantly moving


It's like...
It's as if words can't describe this sensation
