I want believe
That my prayers are being heard
Lately it seems
They have all been wasted words
How many prayers will it take
How many tears must we cry
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
To peace on the other side
I know we could change
The sadness into smiles
If we could all see the world
Through the eyes of a child
How many prayers will it take
How many tears must we cry
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
To peace on the other side
If everybody has the same thoughts
And everybody shares the same dream
Can't we get together
And make this world a better place
I had a dream
All our hatred turned into love
And every river of tears
Dried up into dust
Every woman and man
Standing side by side
Then we walked across that bridge of hope
To peace on the other side
I want believe
That my prayers are being heard
Lately it seems
They have all been wasted words
How many prayers will it take
How many tears must we cry
Till we can walk across that bridge of hope
To peace on the other side
Can we talk across that bridge of hope
And find peace
Sweet peace
On the other side
