歌曲創(chuàng)作背景:賈斯汀比伯說(shuō)他創(chuàng)作新歌《祈禱》(Pray)時(shí),受到了MJ的歌曲《鏡中人》(Man in the Mirror)的啟發(fā)。Bieber說(shuō),“我在寫這首歌時(shí),想到了邁克爾的《鏡中人》。有很多關(guān)于愛情的歌曲,我想創(chuàng)作這個(gè)主題以外的歌曲是很棒的。還有很多其他重要的事情,我想能夠激勵(lì)大家。”
英文歌詞:
|
I just can't sleep tonight
Knowing the 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
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that the 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
No way could start tonight
Am I a sinner?
Cause of my dinner still laying on my plate
Oohh I got a vision, to make a dIfference
And I start it today
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good tImes behind that the pain
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 could see a better day
I close my eyes and pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all amongst not breathing
I pray for all the souls in needing,
I Pray, can you give me one a day
I just can't sleep tonight
Can someone tell me how to make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
