Like a little child,

I've done lots of wishing

Hoping it would make the world "OK"

I have wished upon a star

Then watched it moving farther away

'Til today

Nothing comes from waiting for tomorrow

Hoping someone else will make it bright

It's because of you and me

I see a future flodded with light


In our hands

There's a world in our care

In our hands

Lies the power we share

In our hands, it can grow

Even more than we know

When we all understand

All that is in our hands


Sometimes when I read the morning paper

Something in my heart just/wants to scream

Thought the world a better place

Till one dying child's face makes that seem

Still a dream


Then I hear my children's morning laughter

And I know there's still a choice that's mine

After all the blinding smoke

The fires of tomorrow still shine oh


In our hands

There's a world in our care

In our hands

Lies the power we share

In our hands it can grow

Even more than we know

When we all understand

All that is in our hands


There's a world in our care

In our hands

Lies the power we share

In our hands it can grow

Even more than we know

When we all understand

All that is in our hands

In our hands

In our hands

In our hands
