The prayer

I pray You'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
I pray we'll find Your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child

Seriiing banget dengerin kata2 ini (sampe somehow apal), di lagu the Prayer (Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Charlotte Church, Delon, Joy Tobing) dan jadi inget, gw bawain nih lagu (piano) buat Noni dan Sandy di taon pertama gw di Madison.

Gw ga gitu nyadar sampe tiba2 gw hari ini ngerasa tertarik buat merhatiin tiap kata dari liriknya... Bermakna banget ya ternyata... Selama ini gw tau liriknya emank kaya doa, gw kenal lagu ini sebagai "that beautiful song", tapi tiba2 just struck me aje, ternyata bener2 indah.
Imagine and try to feel it : "And help us to be wise in times when we don't know" to actually say "make us wise when we need it" ato "We ask that life be kind", so humble... Kayanya rasanya simply nothing can go any right-er.

That makes this song even just... romantic?

One of my favorite version on youtube.

*seriously thinkin about adopting this song as my favorite prayer...*
