Pray
Justin Bieber Lyrics

Oh oh oh
Introduction to the song with repeated sounds.

And I pray
The central theme of the song, where the singer expresses his desire to pray for a better tomorrow.

I just can't sleep tonight
The singer is unable to rest due to the current state of the world.

Knowing that things ain't right
The singer is aware that things are not as they should be.

Its in the papers, its on the TV,
The overwhelming negativity is everywhere, including the media.

Its everywhere that I go
The singer can't escape the current state of the world.

Children are crying
The innocent are suffering.

Soldiers are dying
Those serving their country are making the ultimate sacrifice.

Some people don't have a home
The less fortunate are without basic necessities.

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
The singer believes that better times are ahead.

I know there's good times behind that pain
The singer understands that pain can lead to growth and better times.

Can you tell me how I can make a change
The singer seeks guidance on how to make a positive impact.

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
The singer visualizes a brighter future.

I close my eyes and pray
The central theme is reiterated - the singer prays for a better tomorrow.

I lose my appetite,
The singer is affected emotionally by the current state of the world.

Knowing kids starve tonight
The innocent are suffering due to hunger.

Am I a sinner,
The singer questions if his privileged lifestyle makes him a sinner.

'Cause half my dinner is still there on my plate
The singer feels guilty for wasting food when so many are starving.

Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference
The singer has a vision to make the world a better place.

And its starting today
The singer is motivated to take action now.

I pray for the broken-hearted
The singer prays for those who have suffered emotional pain.

I pray for the life not started
The singer prays for those who never got the chance to live.

I pray for all the lungs not breathing
The singer prays for those who have lost their lives due to illness or accidents.

I pray for all the souls in need
The singer prays for those who are struggling in life and need help.

Can you give 'em one today
The singer asks if others can help those in need today.

Can someone tell how to make a change?
The singer seeks guidance on how to create positive change.

I pray
The central theme is reiterated again, reminding listeners of the importance of prayer.

I close my eyes and pray
The singer ends the song how it began, emphasizing the importance of prayer for a better tomorrow.
