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
Till 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 flooded with light
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
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
