Makes Me Wanna Pray
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What is this feeling coming over me? I'm taken back in
disbelief
Is this really me in the mirror I see staring back at
me...
Could it be? A new reflection of a woman complete
All of a sudden I'm so care-free (well alright)
'Cause love is doing something strange to me (well
alright)
Got a new flame, ha! haven't been the same
Something in me's changed, rearranged and I feel that
I've been saved
You got me feeling like you're that something I've
been missing
Everything's heaven 'cause life with you has been a
blessing
(Oh-oh oh-oh) I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh) Your love has brought me into a higher
place, oh yeah
(Who knew?) It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, always and it makes me wanna get down and
pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, said it makes me
wanna get down and pray
I've kept some company I shouldn't have (well alright)
Did some mistakes but that's in the past (well
alright)
I'm a person near to you, oroves that I am through
I come and plead, I can breathe and I finally believe,
yeah
You got me thinking I'll be alright, and you're the
reason
Oh I can feel it, we're moving at a new direction
(Oh-oh oh-oh) I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh) Your love has brought me into a higher
place, oh yeah
(Who knew?) It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, always and it makes me wanna get down and
pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, said it makes me
wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, makes me wanna get
down and pray
Where would I be? Where would I be? Without you by my
side
Where would I be? Where would I be? Without you
standing by
Makes me wanna (pray), makes me need to (pray)
When I'm feeling low and all alone, you're the light
in my day, yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh) I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh) Your love has brought me into a higher
place, oh yeah
(Who knew?) It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, always and it makes me wanna get down and
pray.
