Lyrics of
The Prayer

The Prayer is a song by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa, and Tony Renis, first recorded in 1998 as a duet by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion for the Quest for Camelot movie soundtrack. The song was a hit, winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and earning an Oscar nomination in the same category. The lyrics express a plea for protection, guidance, and a life free from darkness and suffering.

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 the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai (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
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

Sognia 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 amore (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
