歌曲歌词
A child comes to earth
Born of grace
What is her destiny
What is her fate
Is Innocence lost
Look at her face
What will she have to see it too late
Lift up your voice
Look to the sky
One can be the whole world in a child's eye
What if we dream
What if we believe
We are her destiny
We are her fate
If we lived in another place and time would people see
If it's not us who shall it be
We are her destiny
We are her destiny
Give her power Lift up her place
Don't say What if
At the end of the day
Don't say What if
Give her power Lift up her place
Don't say What if
Don't send her away
What if we dream
What if we believe
We are her destiny
We are her fate
If we lived in another place and time would people see
If it's not us who shall it be
What if we dream
What if we believe
We are her destiny
We are her fate
If we lived in another place and time would people see
If it's not us who shall it be
We are her destiny
We are her destiny
We are her destiny
We are her destiny
