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 somethin' 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
