英文歌词：

I just can't sleep tonight
Knowing the 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 the pain,
hey，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
No way could start tonight
Am I a sinner?
Cause of my dinner still laying on my plate
Oohh I got a vision, to make a dIfference
And I start it today
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good tImes behind that the 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 could 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 amongst not breathing
I pray for all the souls in needing,
I Pray, can you give me one a day
I just can't sleep tonight
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
I close my eyes and I could see a better day
I close my eyes and, I pray…
I pray
I pray
I close my eyes and pray…
