(Intro)
(Ein pulsierender Synth-Bass setzt ein, begleitet von einem modernen "Talk-Box" Effekt-Synth)
(Verse 1)
Tommy’s working late in the night, looking for a light
He’s down on his luck, it’s tough, so tough
Gina dreams of flying away, looking for a plan
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
She says, we’ve got to hold on to the dreams we made
It doesn't make a difference if we're not afraid
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it all we've got!
(Chorus)
Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah, running on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoah, running on a prayer
(Verse 2)
Tommy’s got his back to the wall, waiting for the call
He’s holding his ground, it’s tough, so tough
Gina’s dancing under the sun, she’s the only one
She whispers a prayer, for love, for love
She says, we’ve got to hold on to the heat we feel
It doesn't make a difference if it's even real
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it all we've got!
(Chorus)
Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah, running on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoah, running on a prayer
Running on a prayer!
(Bridge)
(Großer elektronischer Build-up, Snare-Rolls und Synthesizer)
Oooooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got!
(Chorus - Key Change / Finale)
(Die Energie explodiert, die Tonlage geht nach oben)
Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah, running on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoah, running on a prayer!
(Outro)
(Der Beat treibt weiter aus)
We’re almost there!
Living on a prayer...
(Fade out)
