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 beyond 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 behind 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 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 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? 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 I pray (oh) I pray I pray I close my eyes and pray
