And when the shadows descend again Give me the eyes to seeAnd when the silence stills my lips Give me the words to speakAccept the things I can't change And change the things I still canGive me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, grant me serenityAnd when the river is a wall of water Give me the strength to receiveAnd when the twilight hides the horizon Give me the faith to believeAccept the things I can't change And change the things I still canGive me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, grant me serenityAccept the things I can't change And change the things I still canGive me the wisdom to know the difference Grant me serenity, and I'll see eternityGrant me serenity
