And when the shadow 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 recede And when 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
