G#m F#         E      B
I just can’t sleep tonight
G#m F#         E           B
Knowing that things ain’t right
G#m               F#
It’s in the papers  it’s on the tv,
E                       B
It’s everywhere that I go
G#m
Children are crying
F#
Soldiers are dying
E                         B
Some people don’t have a home

        E
But I know there’s sunshine
behind that rain
  B/D#
I know there’s good times
behind that pain hey
A
Can you tell me how I
             E
can make a change

Chorus:
           G#m      F#
I close my eyes and I
                  E B
can see a better day
           G#m  F#    E B
I close my eyes and pray
           G#m      F#
I close my eyes and I
                  E B
can see a better day
           G#m  F#    E B
I close my eyes and pray

I lose my appetite
Knowing kids starve tonight
am I A sinner?
Cause of my dinner
Still there on my plate
Ooh I got a vision to make
a difference and I’m starting today

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 better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I
can see a better day
I close my eyes and

     F#m   E        B
I’ll pray for the broken hearted
     F#m   E       B
I’ll pray for the life’s not starting
     B/D#           E
I’ll pray for all amongst not breathing
      F#
I’ll pray for all the
G#m               C#m
souls that need a pray
Can you give ‘em one today?

I just can’t sleep tonight
Cause someone told me I
need to make a change

Chorus:
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
  G#m F# E B
I pray
  G#m F# E B/D#
I pray
  G#m F# E B
I pray
           G#m
I close my eyes
A       B
and I pray
