Like a Prayer (QSound Mix) Lyrics

[Intro]
God?
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

[Verse 1]
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice
I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven, help me

[Chorus]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

[Verse 2]
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control
Just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me
It's like a dream
Let the choir sing

[Chorus]
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

[Interlude]
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus]
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there

[Bridge]
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me (Mmmm...)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (Oh, oh-oh-oh yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (Oh, yeah)
It's like a dream to me (Oh, oh)

[Breakdown]
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah (Come on)
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah (Come on)
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, y-y-yeah
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)

[Chorus]
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there

[Outro]
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me (Mmmm...)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (Oh, oh-oh-oh yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (Oh, yeah)
It's like a dream to me

About

The “QSound Mix” of “Like a Prayer” is a remix created exclusively for Madonna’s first greatest hits compilation, 1990’s The Immaculate Collection. In advance of the compilation, Shep Pettibone and Goh Hotoda were tasked with remixing Madonna’s hits in the then-cutting-edge QSound, which created a 3D effect on compact disc playback. With most of the songs Pettibone and Hotoda left the original production intact, but for “Like a Prayer” the decision was made to include a specially-created remix of the song, partially based on Pettibone’s 12" Dance Mix and partially on the live arrangement performed on the Blond Ambition tour; the “QSound Mix” retains the original vocals, background vocals, much of Paulihno da Costa’s latin percussion, and the legendary Andrae Crouch Choir but strips away the pop-rock feel for a more dance-oriented, minimalist house feel.
