Like a prayer in church from a prest
Like a prisioner who's been released
If some honest words come to me
I will whisper amen

Like a baby found
In a storm
As a mother cries my first born
Through weakness I am made strong
I will whisper amen

amen, amen
Again and again, amen

Like an old woman ready to serve
Like teaching a child that's not hers
Who one day a week
Who''d feel love that she never wold find

And as new words form on her lips
With a pen in her fingertips
The legs of the hangman
Are dancing with angels in time

Whisper amen, amen
Again and again, amen

Amen, amen
Again and again, amen
