The Prayer Lyrics by Céline Dion & Andrea Bocelli
Verse 1: Céline Dion
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
Verse 2: Andrea Bocelli & Céline Dion
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
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è
When shadows fill our day
Verse 3: Andrea Bocelli, Céline Dion, Andrea Bocelli & Céline Dion
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
[Verse 4: Andrea Bocelli & Céline Dion]
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
Refrain: Céline Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Andrea Bocelli & Céline Dion
Let this be our prayer, let this be our prayer
Just like every child, just like every child
Outro: Andrea Bocelli & Céline Dion
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 salvera
