Almost Like a Prayer
I stood upon a cloud of joy
A breeze blew through my hair
I felt the gift of total bliss
And didn't have a care
Something deep within my soul
Had found an open door
I entered in the room of love
And danced across the floor
I thought to me that this must be
The place to find the throne
But then I looked around and saw
That I was all alone
Angelic voices called to me
To move throughout the mist
Their song was like a beacon
And I felt my heart was kissed
Suddenly I saw the sun
And everything was clear
I knew that all I heard was true
And that is why I'm here
I sit upon the greenest grass
I feel a certain calm
I take a memory from my past
And hold it in my palm
I look at what I've done in life
To gain a place in line
I measure all my efforts
And compare them with my time
I wonder what I could have said
To help a friend in need
I wonder what I could have done
To help a growing seed
I ponder this and so much more
While drifting on a breeze
I seek to find some comfort
That will put my mind at ease
When suddenly a caravan
Of angels come my way
They stop to resurrect me
And they carry me away
I take the life and move along
To find a better me
To walk and pray and love each day
For all eternity
If ever I should feel the need
To find my way again
I'll fold my hands and close my eyes
And call upon my friend
