And you ask me what i want this year
and i try to make this good 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

Chorus:

so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone is forgiven now

cause tonight's the night the world begins again

and its someplace simple where we could live

and something only you can give
and let's faith and trust and peace while we're alive


and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's 10 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
