There's a ship out On the ocean At the mercy of the sea It's been tossed about lost and broken Wandering aimlessly And God, somehow you know that ship is me There's a lighthouse in a harbor shining faithfully Pouring its light out across the water For this sinking soul to see That someone out there still believes in me
(Chorus:)
On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again
There's a moment we all come to in our own time and our own space Where all that we've done we can undo if our heart's in the right place
On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me Unfolding like a mystery You're changing all that is and used to be
On a prayer In a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Ahhh, raining down against the wind I'm reaching out til' we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again (When you come back to me again)
