Knowing that things ain't right

It's everywhere that I go 
Children are cryin' 
Soldiers are dyin' 
Some people don't have a home

But I know there's sunshine beyond that rain 
I know there's good times beyond that 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 
Knowing kids starve tonight 
Am I a sinner, cause half my dinner is still there on my plate? 
Ooh, I got a vision to make a difference 
And it's starting today 

'Cause I know there's sunshine beyond that rain 
I know there's good times beyond that pain, hey 
Heaven, 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...

I pray for the brokenhearted 
I pray for the life not started 
I pray for all the ones not breathing 
I pray for all the souls in need I pray 
... 
Can u give 'em one today? 

Am  F          F/C         C/G
I just can't sleep tonight...
