Lyrics:

And you asked me what I want this year

and I try to make this kind and clear

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings

and designer love and empty things

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days



So take these words and sing out loud

'cause everyone is forgiven now

'cause tonight's the night the world begins again



I need some place simple where we could live

and something only you can give

and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

and the one poor child who saved this world

and there's ten million more who probably could

if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them



So take these words and sing out loud

'cause everyone is forgiven now

'cause tonight's the night the world begins again



I wish everyone was loved tonight

and somehow stop this endless fight

just a chance that maybe we'll find better days



So take these words and sing out loud

'cause everyone is forgiven now

'cause tonight's the night the world begins again



'cause tonight's the night the world begins again
