| I was walking down the road that leads to hope
|
| My soul’s in desperation, need to go
|
| I see the glow but something’s wrong
|
| Seem’s the light of love is gone
|
| They’ve destroyed the place where children go to pray
|
| Now I’m staring at the walls to find his place (ooh)
|
| Casting shadows on the world and I resist (ooh)
|
| Now the church must live within (live within)
|
| We can build these walls again
|
| But for now I pray for mercy on our souls
|
| Angels cry when innocence is shattered (ooh)
|
| And the love for your brother no longer matters (ooh)
|
| Now our faith is on the ground (ooh)
|
| The house of God is burning down
|
| And we’re standing in the ashes of our shame (ooh)
|
| When angels cry (when angels cry)
|
| I’ll be the first to extend my hand to you (hand to you)
|
| And forgiveness will begin to heal our wounds (oh, yeah)
|
| It’s time to see this eye to eye (eye to eye)
|
| Brown or yellow, black or white (ooh)
|
| From these burning embers we can rise again, oh (we'll rise again)
|
| Angels cry when innocence is shattered (ooh)
|
| And the love for your brother no longer matters (ooh)
|
| Now our faith is on the ground
|
| The house of God is burning down
|
| And we’re standing in the ashes of our shame (oh, oh)
|
| When angels cry (ooh)
|
| Oooh (ooh)
|
| Hey
|
| Can we try to heal the pain when angels cry
|
| Cause only love can lead to change
|
| Can we try to heal the pain when angels cry (try to heal the pain when angels
|
| cry)
|
| Can we try (oh)
|
| Can we try
|
| When angels cry
|
| Oh, oh, oh
|
| Ooh |
