Theres a ship out on the ocean at the mercy of the sea
Its been tossed about lost and broken wandering aimlessly
And god, somehow you know that ship is me

Because theres 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

Chorus:
On a prayer in a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on
Raining down agianst the wind
Im reaching out until we reach the circles end
When you come back to me agian

Theres a moment that we all come to
In our time and our own place
Where all that weve done we can undo
If our hearts in the right place

Repeat chorus

Again and again I see
My yesterdays in front of me
Unfolding like a mystery
Youre changing all that is and used to be

Repeat chorus
