• 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
  
  La luce che tu hai
  (I pray we'll find your light)
  Nel cuore resterà
  (And hold it in our hearts)
  A ricordarci che
  (When stars go out each night)
  Eterna stella sei
  Nella mia preghiera
  (Let this be our prayer)
  Quanta fede c'è
  (When shadows fill our day)
  
  Lead us to a place
  Guide us with your grace
  Give us faith so we'll be safe
  Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
  Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
  Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
  Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
  La forza che ci dà
  
  (We ask that life be kind)
  È il desiderio che
  (And watch us from above)
  Ognuno trovi amor
  (We hope each soul will find)
  Intorno e dentro sé
  (Another soul to love)
  
  Let this be our prayer
  Let this be our prayer
  Just like every child
  Just like every child
  Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
  Give us faith so we'll be safe
  È la fede che
  Hai acceso in noi
  Sento che ci salverà Writer/s: Carole Bayer Sager, David Foster
