And you ask 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
'Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cuz everyone is forgiven now
'Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that 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
'Cuz everyone is forgiven now
'Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
'Cuz everyone is forgiven now
'Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
'Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
