There’s a ship out on the ocean
At the mercy of the sea
It’s been tossed about
Lost and broken
Wandring aimlessly
And God somehow you know
That ship is me
‘Cause 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
On a prayer
In a song
I hear your voice
And it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind
I’m reaching out
‘Till 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 in our own space
Where all that we’ve done
We can undo
If our hearts’ in the right place
On a prayer
In a song
I hear your voice
And it keeps me hanging on
Oh, raining down, against the wind
I’m reaching out
‘Till we reach the circle’s end
And you come back to me again
And again I see
My yesterday’s 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
Oh, raining down, against the wind
I’m reaching out
‘Till we reach the circle’s end
When you come back to me again
When you come back to me again
