Sweet bird of sunrise
Brown hair and sad eyes
Cry not one tear for me
And I'll be home

Everything I wanted
Everything I hunger for
You're everything I needed
You're everything I'm praying for

Wherever you go
And wherever you are
I'll be hitching my star to you
As the birds in the air
On a wing and a prayer
I will always be there for you

I heard some friends say
This war won't last a day
You must be brave
And I hope you'll wait

Everything I wanted
Everything I hunger for
You're everything I needed
You're everything I'm praying for

Wherever you go
And wherever you are
I'll be hitching my star to you
As the birds in the air
On a wing and a prayer
I will always be there for you

And the power is in your hands
And nothing in life is planned
There'll be tears in the mist of a laughter
And I promise I'll be with you ever after

Wherever you go
And wherever you are
I'll be hitching my star to you
As the birds in the air
On a wing and a prayer
I will always be there for you
