Like a Prayer
MadonnaLife 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 want to 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
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 want to 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
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
[Chorus 1]
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
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
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
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
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
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 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
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
Like a prayer
[Outro]
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a dream to me
About
Madonna recorded “Like a Prayer” for her 1989 studio album of the same name. Sire Records released it as the lead single from the album on March 3, 1989.
Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, “Like a Prayer” signaled a more artistic and personal approach to songwriting from Madonna, who felt she needed to cater more to her adult audience. The video for the song was quite controversial, primarily for its portrayal of Madonna kissing a black saint and other supposedly sacrilegious religious imagery.

I liked the meaning behind this track..combining sex and spiritualism…this is my fav ever Madge track!
The back up band and producer of this female singer is amazing.
I’m by no means a Madonna fan but this is easily one of, if not the, greatest pop song I’ve ever heard
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 want to 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!)
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!
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.
