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 HARBOR
SHINING FAITHFULLY
POURING IT'S 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 RAINING 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
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
ON RAINING DOWN
AGAINST THE WIND
I'M REACHIN' OUT
'TIL WE REACH
THE CIRCLE'S END
AND YOU COME BACK
TO ME AGAIN
AND AGAIN I SEE
MY YESTERDAYS
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
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 AGAIN
