I just can't sleep tonight
knowin' that things ain't right

It's in the papers,
it's on the T.V.,
it's everywhere that i go

Children are crying,
Soldiers are dying,
Some people dont have a home

and i know theres sunshine beyond that rain
and i know theres good times beyond that pain
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 (x2)

I lose my appetite
knowin kids starve tonight

Am i a sinner?
cuz half my dinner
is still on my plate

ooh i got a vision

to make a difference
and its starting today

and i know theres sunshine beyond that rain
and i know theres good times beyond that pain
heaven 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 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 that need a break
can you give em one today?

I just can't sleep tonight
Heaven tell me how to make a change

I close my eyes
and i can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray (x2)

I close my eyes and pray
