Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
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
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?
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
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
I pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones 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 me how to make a change?
I close my eyes, and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray, oh-oh
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray, ooh-ooh-ooh
I pray, I pray
I close my eyes and pray
