DO ANGELS CRY?

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN THINGS ARE BAD ON EARTH
I KNOW THEY LIVE IN HEAVEN ABOVE
WHERE THINGS ARE BETTER NOT WORSE

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN CHILDREN DO NOT PRAY
WHEN EVERYONE IS WAY TO BUSY
TO TEACH THEM DAY BY DAY

THIS WORLD IS GETTING WORSE EACH DAY
WE SEE THAT FROM THE SIN
WE NEVER SEE THE THINGS THAT CHANGE
WE JUST LET THE DEVIL WIN

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN JESUS LOOKS DOWN AND SEES
ALL THE LOVE HE GAVE TO US
STILL SOME JUST DON’T BELIEVE

I WONDER IF THE ANGELS CRY
WHEN THEY SEE THIS EARTH EACH DAY
THE LOVE HAS GROWN COLD AS ICE
LET FAITH SHOW US THE WAY

LORD FILL OUR HEARTS AGAIN WITH LOVE
I PRAY DON’T LET IT DIE
GIVE THE CHILDREN ANOTHER CHANCE
SO ANGELS IN HEAVEN DON’T CRY
