"A Prayer For Every Year" lyrics

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
