[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change?

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)

[Verse 2]
I lose my appetite
Knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner, 'cause my dinner is still on my plate?
I got a vision, to make a difference, and it's starting today

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change?
[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray

[Bridge]
I pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing
I pray for all the souls in need, I pray
Can you give them one today?

[Pre-Chorus]
I just can't sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)

[Outro]
I pray
I pray
I pray
I close my eyes and pray (and pray)
