The Prayer

This has been one of my favourite songs for a long time. Not only because the beauty of the song, but also for the absolutely fantastic voices of Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. Funny thing is, I've never looked up the translation of the Italian lyrics. Shows how often I actually listen/sing songs without knowing what they mean.

Now that I've searched it up. All the more beautiful it is. (:



Love the orchestra in this version too =)

(Translations in parentheses)

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 tu dai
(The light that you give)
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
(Will stay in our hearts)
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
(To remind us that)
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
(You are an everlasting star)
Nella mia preghiera
(In my prayer)
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è
(There's so much faith)
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
(We dream of a world with no more violence)
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
(A world of justice and hope)
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
(Grasp your neighbors hand)
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
(As a symbol of peace and brotherhood)

La forza che ci dai
(The strength that you give us)
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
(Is the wish that)
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi un cuore
(Everyone may find love)
We hope each soul we'll find
Intorno e dentro a sè
(In and around himself)
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
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
(And the faith that)
Hai acceso in noi
(You've lit inside us)
Sento che ci salverà
(I feel will save us)

Looking for someone who wants to try this song with me (:
