On the wings of a prayer

How many tears have people cried

from how many broken hearts?

But you felt each one of them inside of you

when their hearts were breakin'

yours would break too

And how many people go through life

who've stopped dreamin' long ago,

they've seen their hopes and desires die

til they no longer believe they are possible...

But whenever I reach the point 

of giving up and I can't go on,

I hear a song in the night that reminds me

there's nothing that I can't do, with you inside me

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

in the arms of your awesome love,

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

Far from the storm, far from the tempest...

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

in the arms of your awesome love,

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

And I keep pressin' on, I keep pressin' onward!

There was a time when I thought I heard you

ringin' as clear as a bell,

Oh, Lord, I was sure of the dream I was chasin'

but it's so distant now, did I ever hear you at all?

It's so hard to keep on goin'

when everything's falling apart,

and the thing that I wanted the most

has just broken my heart, and torn me to pieces...

But whenever I reach the point 

of giving up and I can't go on,

I hear a song in the night that reminds me

there's nothing that I can't do, with you inside me

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

in the arms of your awesome love,

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

Far from the storm, far from the tempest...

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

in the arms of your awesome love,

On the wings of a prayer you carry me

And I keep pressin' on, I keep pressin' onward!
