| 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
|
| Refrain
|
| 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 |
