(oh oh oooh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oooh)
(And I pray)
I just can't sleep tonight,
knowing that things ain't right.
It's in the papers, it's on the TV,
it's everywhere that I go.
Children are crying, soldiers are dying,
some people don't have a home.
Pre Chorus:
But I know there's sunshine beyond that rain,
I know there's good times behind that pain, (hey)
Can you tell me how I can make a change?
Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner? Cause half my dinner,
Is still there on my plate.
Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference,
and it's starting today.
Cause I know there's sunshine beyond that rain,
I know there's good times beyond that pain
Heaven tell me I can make a change.
Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray. (yeaah)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and,
Bridge:
I pray for the broken-hearted,
I pray for the life not started.
I pray for all the lungs not breathing,
I pray for all the souls that need a break,
Can you give 'em one today?
I just can't sleep tonight,
Can someone tell me how to make a change?
End Chorus:
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray, (Ooh)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day,
I close my eyes and I pray, (ooh)
I pray, I pray
I close my eyes and pray.
