Pray
BIEBER Justin Lyrics

Oh oh oh
Initial expression of the song without any specific meaning

And I pray
Justin talks about how he prays to make a change

I just can't sleep tonight
Justin is restless because of the current state of affairs in the world

Knowing that things ain't right
He is aware of the injustices happening in the world

Its in the papers, its on the TV,
The news of the problems is everywhere around him

Its everywhere that I go
He cannot escape the bad news and see the brighter side of life

Children are crying
Children are suffering and in distress

Soldiers are dying
People are losing their lives in wars and conflicts

Some people don't have a home
Homelessness is a widespread problem in society

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
Justin believes that there is hope in even the most difficult situations

I know there's good times behind that pain
He has faith that there will be better days ahead

Can you tell me how I can make a change
Asks for guidance on how he can contribute to making a positive impact

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
Justin visualizes a better future with his eyes closed

I close my eyes and pray
He prays for a better tomorrow

I lose my appetite,
Justin is saddened by the thought of people starving

Knowing kids starve tonight
He is aware of the problem of hunger and malnutrition among children

Am I a sinner,
Justin is questioning himself if he is doing enough to help others

'Cause half my dinner is still there on my plate
He feels guilty about having excess food when others are going hungry

Ooh I got a vision, to make a difference
Justin has a clear idea of how he wants to contribute to creating a better world

And its starting today
He is determined to act on his vision and start making a difference

I pray for the broken-hearted
Justin prays for people who are emotionally hurt and suffering

I pray for the life not started
He prays for the unborn children whose lives are yet to begin

I pray for all the lungs not breathing
Justin prays for those who have lost their lives to diseases or other causes

I pray for all the souls in need
He prays for everyone who needs help and support

Can you give 'em one today
He urges others to do their part in helping those in need

Can someone tell how to make a change?
Asks for advice on how he can best make a positive difference

I pray
Reiterates his faith in the power of prayer to bring about change

I close my eyes and pray
Justin emphasizes the importance of prayer in his efforts to make a difference
