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 behind 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 brighter 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 my dinner
Is still on my plate

I got a vision
To make a difference
And it's starting today

'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

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter 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 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

I just can't sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter 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 pray
I pray
I pray
I close my eyes and pray
