When Angels Cry

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
