Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And I pray
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain
Hey, can you tell me how I can make a change?
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
'Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain
Heaven, tell me how I can make a change
[Verse 7]
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray, yeah
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and
[Verse 8]
I pray for the brokenhearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the lungs not breathing
I pray for all the souls in need
I pray
Can you give 'em one today?
I just can't sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?
[Verse 9]
I close my eyes and I can see a better day, yeah
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray
[Verse 10]
Ooh, I pray
I pray
I close my eyes and pray
