Pray

Oh, oh oh oh [3x]

(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
