Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh And I pray I just can't sleep tonight Knowing that things ain't right Its in the papers, its on the TV, Its 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 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 its starting today 'Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain I know there's good times behind that pain Heaven 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 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 in need I pray Can you give 'em one today I just can't sleep tonight Can someone tell 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 pray I close my eyes and pray
