Every problem has solutions
Look inside your heart
See what you might find
You can draw your own conclusions
There’s summer in your soul
Winter in your mind
I love… I love… I love you
I need… I need… I need you there
I love… I love… I love you
Let me be your answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Don’t cry
Tears dry
Answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Unhappy for a long time
A subtle shade of blue – indigo – that’s you
You say that love’s so hard to find
It just eluded you
I’ve been eluded too
I love… I love… I love… I love you
I need… I need… I need you there
I’ve got to… got to… got to have you
Let me be your answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Don’t cry
Tears dry
Answered prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Don’t cry
Tears dry
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Open up your mind
Open up your heart
Unlock your dreams
Unchain desire
Open up your arms
Open up your eyes
Answer my prayer
Truth be told
Word to the wise
Open your heart, babe
Open your eyes
Unlock your dreams
Unchain desire
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer
Prayer
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
All I want you to do
All I want to do
Is to answer my prayer
Answer, baby
(Answer my… answer my… answer my prayer)
Don’t cry
Now give me answer
Give me an answer
Give me an answer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
