Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Let this be our prayer
  • When we lose our way
  • Lead us to a place
  • Guide us with your grace

Echo the hook

  • Give us faith so we'll be safe
  • Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
  • Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
  • Ognuno di la mano al suo vicino
prayerplacewe'll
