A Prayer For Every Year

Do you remember me long ago on bended knee?

I prayed to You with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now

Can You still help somehow?

I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

Please hear my prayer tonight

And help me do what's right

Not for myself but for the world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my prayer for every year

May kindness rule our lives

Not just the strong survive

Sweet tears for all the thousand years gone by

This is the world, I pray, we will share someday

And we begin by reaching out my hand

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my prayer for every year

Woo

What is this illusion called?

The innocence of youth

Maybe only in that fine belief will we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart (torn apart)

That wars would never start (never start)

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend( have a friend)

And right would always win (always win)

And love would never end (never end)

This is my prayer for every year

This is the prayer I hope you'll hear

This is my prayer for every year

Hmmmm...
