2) Nella Fantasia Version by Russell Watson

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima.

3) The Prayer Version by Russell Watson

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
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
(I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che
(When stars go out each night)
L'eterna stella sei
(Whoa)
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è
(When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

La forza che ci dia
(We ask that life be kind)
È il desiderio che
(And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amore
(We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro a sé
(Another soul to love)
Let this be our prayer
(Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child
(Just like every child)
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

È la fede che
(Hai acceso in noi)
Sento che ci salverà

[Repeat from "La luce che tu hai..."]

4) Va Pensiero (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves)

Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate
Cross the mountains and fly over the oceans,
Reach the land, find the place
Where all the exiles gather in peace.

O mia patria, sì bella e perduta!
Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and lost!
Oh, remembrance, so dear and fatal!

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
Golden harp of the prophetic bards,
Why do you hang silent on the willow?

Le membra degli avi nostri
Our forefathers' remains
Potranno forse racchiusi nell'urna?
Could they possibly be enclosed within an urn?
Almen quelle che son sparse in terra
Those at least that are scattered on the earth,
Ogni uomo di lagrima infonderà.

Every man will infuse with tears.

Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate
Cross the mountains and fly over the oceans,
Reach the land, find the place
Where all the exiles gather in peace.

O mia patria, sì bella e perduta!
Oh, my homeland, so beautiful and lost!
Oh, remembrance, so dear and fatal!
So dear and fatal!

5) Where My Heart Will Take Me

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down

'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith, faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day

And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna change my mind

'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith, faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, faith of the heart
It's been a long road

6) You Raise Me Up Version by Russell Watson

When I am down and, oh, my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up to more than I can be
