"The Prayer" is a song performed by Canadian singer Celine Dion and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. It was written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Tony Renis and Alberto Testa.
"The Prayer" was originally recorded in two solo versions for the Warner Bros.' 1998 musical animated feature film Quest for Camelot, in English by Dion and in Italian by Bocelli. A duet between Dion and Bocelli later appeared on their respective studio albums, These Are Special Times (1998) and Sogno (1999), and was released as a promotional single in March 1999.
In 2012, Christina performed the song alongside her finalist Chris Mann on the season finale of the second season of The Voice. The following week, the studio version debuted at number 85 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics[]
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
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita
La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
E il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
You might also like
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
