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 beyond 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.
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.
