Madonna
Like A Prayer
Madonna Like A Prayer is the fourth studio album and released on March 21, 1989 by Sire Records. The RIAA certified it Quadruple Platinum on July 16, 1997, recognizing four million shipments in the U.S. - making it her seventh best-selling album there. Like A Prayer is highly regarded as not only one of her greatest albums, but is also regarded amongst critics and fans as one of the greatest albums of all time despite initial criticism of the themes shown within the album and the controversy behind the lead single surrounding its lyrics and accompanying music video. The album also found success with its following singles; "Express Yourself", "Cherish", and "Oh Father", which found varied success across the globe. Express Yourself and 'Like a Prayer' are regarded as two of Madonna's signature songs, and along with 'Oh Father', and 'Cherish' have garnered much acclaim over the decades and also furthered the creativity within music videos. The lyrics in the album reflect her then very public divorce from Sean Penn ("Til Death Us Do Part") as well as revisiting the emotions dealt with in her family life from when she was a child through to when she was a teenager (Promise To Try, Oh Father, Keep It Together). "Love Song" (a duet with Prince) and "Keep It Together" would be revisited in Madonna's tenth studio album Confessions On A Dancefloor in the hit songs Jump and Hung Up. The album was also ranked number 237 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Madonna Like A Prayer Lyrics
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 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
(chorus)
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)
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
