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 light house, in a harbor shining faithfully,
Pouring its life out across the water, for this sinking soul in the sea
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,
'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, in our 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 hanging on
Oh, 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,
Your 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,
'Til we reach the circle's end, when you come back to me again
When you come back to me again
