Carly Paoli - Ave Maria Lyrics

This world is still as wonderful
As it was when we were younger.
If nothing's sacred anymore
Then what are we fighting for?

Have the dreamers all stopped dreaming?
Have they given up the ghost?
Because while there is still a chance
Ev'ry night I fold my hands
And then I pray,
Then I pray,

Ave Maria
Canta l'anima mia
Though we're bruised and broken on this earth,
We're still worth saving.

This world's begun to look her age.
She is old and she is grey.
But if she's asking for our help
Then how can we turn away
Day after day?
Oh, I pray,

Ave Maria
Canta l'anima mia
Though we're bruised and broken on this earth,
We're still worth saving.
I pray.
