Dion and one in Italian by the tenor Andrea Bocelli. The duet between the two
was recorded later and then appeared on their respective studio albums, These
Are Special Times(1998) and Dream(1999), and released as a radio single on

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
La luce che tu dai
(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)
Eterna stella sei
(Whoa)
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è
(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
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
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)
Let this be our prayer
(Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child
(Just like every child)
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 salverà.
