[Intro]
Oh oh oh, whoa
Oh oh oh, whoa
Oh oh oh, whoa
And I pray

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times beyond that pain
Hey, can you tell me
How I can make a change?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner cause some of my dinner
Is still there on my plate?
Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference and it's starting today

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times beyond that pain
Heaven, tell me
How I can make a change?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
I pray for the brokenhearted, 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 me how to make a change?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I pray, I pray, I pray
I close my eyes and pray, pray

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a pop musician and recording artist, singer-songwriter and part-time actor. Since bursting onto the scene in 2008 (after being discovered on YouTube) he has taken the world by storm and divided opinion; selling 15 million albums worldwide, making two concert-documentaries, winning numerous awards, amassing 100 million Twitter followers, and being the most Googled person on Earth more than once.

On November 17, 2009, shortly after being discovered by Usher, Bieber released his first EP, My World. The project featured his first hit “One Time.” Bieber followed with his first album, My World 2.0, on March 19, 2010. The album contained the hit “Baby,” which was famously the most disliked video on YouTube until December 2017.

Before finishing his third studio album, Justin released a Christmas album on November 1, 2011.
