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 As we go our way Lead us to a place Guide us with your Grace To a place where we'll be safe La luce che to dai I pray we'll find your light Nel cuore restero And hold it in our hearts A ricordarchi che When stars go out each night L'eterna stella sei Nella mia preghiera Let this be our prayer Quanta fede see'e 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 La forza che ci dai We ask that life be kind E'il desiderio che And watch us from above Ognuno trovi amore We hope each soul will find Intorno e dentro a se Another soul to love Let this be our prayer Let this be our prayer Just like every child 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
