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 a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And 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

A thousand years gone by

This is the world I pray

We will share someday

Let me begin

By reaching out my hand, 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

What is this illusion called

The innocence of youth

Maybe only in their blind belief

Will we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And every man would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my prayer for every year

This is the prayer, I hope You hear

This is my prayer for every year
