Lyrics Inori - Eric Martin

Inori

Though she knew the end was near
still she never gave up hope
In the power that she believed from the old stories told
Of a thousand paper cranes that were folded every day
They would give her wings to fly and live for ever more
All her family gather round, and held her tenderly
And took away the fear, for a while she was free
And secretly she cried to god above
To keep her safe at home where she belongs in the arms of love
Say a prayer, say a prayer save the souls that have gone
A memory, a memory lives on in everyone
Inori, inori, inori, for peace on earth
In the eyes of every child we find salvation
As she folded the colorful cranes tears start to fall
And she struggled deep inside to make sense of it all
When it seems like all is lost, dreams could come true
And that after every storm there’s a light that’s shining through
One courageous little girl calling out to us
So no one will forget all the innocent
There are lessons we can learn that she left behind
About a hopeful message she gave to the world to make a better place and time
Say a prayer, say a prayer for the souls that have gone
When you wake up to the morning and a new day has begun
Inori, inori, inori, for peace on earth
In our hearts a dedication to what tomorrow brings
There is sadness in the world on this very day
And the echo of her voice when the children play
There’s a change in the season when the flowers bloom
And after all is said and done we’re always thinking of you
Say a prayer, say a prayer, save the souls that have gone
A memory, a memory lives on in everyoneInori, inori, inori, for peace on earth
In the eyes of every child we find salvation
Say goodbye, say goodbye say goodnight and go to sleep
There’s a spirit in the sky an eternal prayer for peace
Heaven’s wish, heaven’s wish, heaven’s wish a chance to live
In the heart of every one there is salvation
In the heart of every one there is salvation
