What are the similes in the song pray by Justin Bieber?

Answer 1

Verse 1:

(And i pray)

I just can't sleep tonight,

knowing that 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.

Pre Chorus:

But i know there's sunshine behind that rain,

I know there's good times behind that pain (hey)

Can you 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 pray.

Verse 2:

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.

Pre Chorus:

Cause i know there's sunshine beyond that rain,

I know there's good times beyond that pain

Heaven tell me i can make a change.

Chorus:

I close my eyes, and i can see a better day,

I close my eyes and pray. (yeee)

I close my eyes and i can see a better day,

I close my eyes and

Bridge:

I pray for the broken-hearted,

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 you give em one today?

Pre Chorus:

I just can't sleep tonight,

Can someone tell me how to make a change?

End Chorus:

I close my eyes, and i can see a better day,

I close my eyes and pray, (Ooh)

I close my eyes and i can see a better day,

I close my eyes and i pray, (ooh)

I pray, I pray

I close my eyes and pray.

Answer 2

It's about all the disasters that have happen like Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti. Justin is basically sending a message to all of us that we should be grateful for what we have and other people who are struggling and that we should pray for the less fortunate.

He is also trying to say that we should all help make a change in all the ways possible. Because he grew up in poverty, he takes this type of ordeal to heart and appreciates things like this very much.

Well first of all he is Christian.

Mostly this song is about the people in Japan, because of the disaster.

He is praying for them to get better, and not have their entire country die.
