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
