I pray You'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer when we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find Your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
You're our eternal star
Let this be our prayer when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
