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
