And when the shadows descend again Give me the eyes to see
And when the silence stills my lips Give me the words to speak
Accept the things I can't change And change the things I still can
Give me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, grant me serenity
And when the river is a wall of water Give me the strength to receive
And when the twilight hides the horizon Give me the faith to believe
Accept the things I can't change And change the things I still can
Give me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, grant me serenity
Accept the things I can't change And change the things I still can
Give me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, and I'll see eternity
Grant me serenity
