Like A Prayer

Now some songs I post on here I don't have that much to say about them, other than I like the tune and/or the lyrics. This song though. I could write all day about this one. I mean where would I start? I could go on and on about the songs obviously religious nature, and my hatred of all forms of organised religion. I could mention the video that created a huge fuss when this song was released, because it depicted Madonna dancing with Jesus... who was black! I could mention that when this plays at the disco, the dancefloor will always be packed, and everyone knows thw words to it.

But while I might someday write an essay or two on those topics, today is not that day. I'm just too tired right now. So yeah I like this song, the tune is a wonderful mixture of pop and gospel, and the lyrics are great. I'm not the slightest bit religious, but I don't think you have to be to like this song, and to lose yourself in its rythmn.

Like A Prayer by Madonna

God?

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

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

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

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

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

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

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

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