Ohh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh
Oh, yeah
Well, alright
Yea, hey, hey
What is this feeling coming over me, hey?
I'm taken back in disbelief
Is this really me, ha, 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 carefree, yeah, well, alright
Your 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh yeah
Who knew? Who knew?
It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I'm amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray, yeah
I've kept some company I shouldn't have, well alright
Made some mistakes but that's in the past, well alright
I'm professing here to you, proof that I am through
I'm coming clean, now I can breathe and I finally believe, yeah
You got me thinking
I'll be alright, and you're the reason
Ooh, I can feel it
We're moving in a new direction
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got it bad in a serious way, oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh, yeah
Who knew? Who knew?
It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I'm amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, yeah
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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got it bad in a serious way, oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh, yeah
Who knew? Who knew?
It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I'm amazed
'Cause it makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Come on
'Cause it makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray, pray, pray
Woo, thank You Father
(Pray, pray)
I wanna lift my hands up and pray
(Pray, pray)
'Cause every time I'm hearing Your name
I wanna reach out and rejoice
(Pray, pray)
Heavenly sound of your voice, yeah
(Pray, pray)
Ha, hey, hey, woo
(Pray, pray)
Alright, that's it
Makes me wanna
