Sequence[]
As Lady Juliana is held hostage by Ruber's army, she sings that her prayer will watch over Kayley and that she will be in a safe place as Kayley rides off on her horse to the forbidden forest to search for Excalibur (after overhearing Ruber and the Griffin's conversation of Excalibur's current location).
Lyrics[]
Julianna: I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her to a place
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
Celine Dion: I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
Andrea Bocelli: La luce che tu hai
Celine Dion: I pray we'll find your light
Andrea Bocelli: nel cuore restera
Celine Dion: and hold it in our hearts.
Andrea Bocelli: a ricordarci che
Celine Dion: When stars go out each night,
Andrea Bocelli: eterna stella sei
Andrea Bocelli: Nella mia preghiera
Celine Dion: Let this be our prayer
Andrea Bocelli: quanta fede c'e
Celine Dion: when shadows fill our day
Andrea Bocelli: Lead us to a place,
Celine Dion: guide us with your grace
Both: Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita
Andrea Bocelli: La forza che ci da
Celine Dion: We ask that life be kind
Andrea Bocelli: e il desiderio che
Celine Dion: and watch us from above
Andrea Bocelli: ognuno trovi amor
Celine Dion: We hope each soul will find
Andrea Bocelli: intorno e dentro se
Celine Dion: another soul to love
Both: Let this be our prayer
Celine Dion: Let this be our prayer,
Andrea Bocelli: just like every child
Celine Dion: just like every child
Both: Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera
Tu l'ascolterai
E ei salverai
I tuoi figli siamo noi
La luce che tu hai
nel cuore restera
a ricordarci che
eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
quanta fede c'e
Se ci guiderai
Tu ci salverai
Gli occhi nostri suono I tuoi
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita
La forza che ci da
e il desiderio che
ognuno trovi amor
intorno e dentro se
Questa mia preghiera
Ci guungiamo a te
E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera
E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera
