Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
And you asked me what I want this year And I try to make this kind and clear Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings And designer love and empty things Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days So take these words and sing out loud 'Cause everyone is forgiven now 'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again I need some place simple where we could live And something only you can give And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive And the one poor child who saved this world And there's ten million more who probably could If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them So take these words and sing out loud 'Cause everyone is forgiven now 'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again I wish everyone was loved tonight And somehow stop this endless fight Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days So take these words and sing out loud 'Cause everyone is forgiven now 'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again 'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
