Eric Martin INORI song lyrics

Though she knew the end was near

still she never gave up hope

In the power that she believed from the old stories told

Of a thousand paper cranes that were folded every day

They would give her wings to fly and live for ever more

All her family gather round, and held her tenderly

And took away the fear, for a while she was free

And secretly she cried to god above

To keep her safe at home where she belongs in the arms of love

Say a prayer, say a prayer save the souls that have gone

A memory, a memory lives on in everyone

Inori, inori, inori, for peace on earth

In the eyes of every child we find salvation

As she folded the colorful cranes tears start to fall

And she struggled deep inside to make sense of it all

When it seems like all is lost, dreams could come true

And that after every storm there's a light that's shining through

One courageous little girl calling out to us

So no one will forget all the innocent

There are lessons we can learn that she left behind

About a hopeful message she gave to the world to make a better place and time

Say a prayer, say a prayer for the souls that have gone

When you wake up to the morning and a new day has begun

Inori, inori, inori, for peace on earth

In our hearts a dedication to what tomorrow brings

There is sadness in the world on this very day

And the echo of her voice when the children play

There's a change in the season when the flowers bloom

And after all is said and done we're always thinking of you

Say a prayer, say a prayer, save the souls that have gone

A memory, a memory lives on in everyoneInori, inori, inori, for peace on earth

In the eyes of every child we find salvation

Say goodbye, say goodbye say goodnight and go to sleep

There's a spirit in the sky an eternal prayer for peace

Heaven's wish, heaven's wish, heaven's wish a chance to live

In the heart of every one there is salvation

In the heart of every one there is salvation
