Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • It's like a dream to me
  • Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
  • It's like a dream to me
  • Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

Echo the hook

  • Life is a mystery
  • Everyone must stand alone
  • I hear you call my name
  • And it feels like home
prayerthereit's
