LYRICS
Oh, Dio che tutto sai, ricordati di noi
Insegnaci la via, che a te ci condurrà
Se ti giungerà, questa mia preghiera
Tu l'ascolterai e ci salverai
I tuoi figli siamo noi
La luce che tu dai
(I pray you'll be my light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And watch us where we go)
E ricordarci che
(And help us to be wise)
Eterna stella sei
(Let this be our prayer)
Nella mia preghiera
(Greater full of faith)
Quanta fede c'è
Se ci guiderai, tu ci salverai
Gli occhi nostri sono i tuoi
Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Un nuovo dio d'amore su ogni terra
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
La forza che ci dà
Ognuno trovi amor
Intorno e dentro sé
Questa mia preghiera, rivolgiamo a te
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà
