JUSTIN BIEBER - PRAY

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'thave a home

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain

I know there's good times behind that pain

ey, 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 lose my appetite knowing kids starve tonight

"m I a sinner, 'cause hal# my dinner is still lay on my plate!

$oh I got a vision to make a di##erence

"nd it's starting today

'Cause 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 prayI close my eyes and I can see a better day

I close my eyes and pray #or the broken hearted

I pray #or the li#e not started

I pray #or all the ones not breathing

I pray #or all the souls in need

I pray, can you give 'em one today!

I just can't sleep tonight

Can someone tell me how to make a change!

I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day



I close my eyes and I pray, I pray, I pray

I close my eyes and pray, pray, pray, pray
