The Prayer Lyrics.

♫ 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 c'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.

I've heard this song sung by very many artists, but for me, the most outstanding and emotional performance was given by Anthony Callea.

A never to be forgotten moment, back in 2004.
