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 the 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

Rainin' 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

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 hangin' on

Rainin' down

Against the wind

I'm reaching out

till we reach the circle's end

When 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 hangin' on

Rainin' 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 a....gain
