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. Cause there's a lighthouse, In a harbour, Shining faithfully. Pouring its light out, Across the water, For this sinking soul to see, That someone out there still believes In me. On a prayer In a song I hear your voice And it keeps me hangin' on, on Rainin' down Against the wind I'm reachin' out Til we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again There's a moment, That we all come to, In our own time and our own space. For 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 hangin' on, on Rainin' down Against the wind I'm reachin' out Til we reach the circle's end And you come back to me again & again I see My yesterday's in front of me Unfolding like a mystery You're changing all That isn't used to be--- On a prayer In a song I hear your voice And it keeps me hangin' on, on Rainin' down Against the wind I'm reachin' out Til we reach the circle's end When you come back to me again When you come back to me a--gain.
