(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?

Oh, 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

I pray

I pray

I close my eyes and pray.
