  • 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 Writer/s: Adam Messinger, Justin Beiber, Nasri Atweh, O. Martinez
