I was walking down the road that leads to hope
Where souls in desperation need to go
I see the glow but something's wrong
Seems the light of love is gone
They've destroyed the place where children go to pray
Now I'm staring at the walls the fires missed
Casting shadows on the world that now exists
Now the church must live with it
We can build these walls again
But for now I pray for mercy on our souls
Angels cry when innocence is shattered
And the love for your brother no longer matters
Now our faith is on the ground
The house of God is burning down
And we're standing in the ashes of our shame
When angels cry
I'll be the first to extend my hand to you
And forgiveness will begin to heal our wounds
It's time to see this eye to eye
Brown or yellow, black or white
From these burning embers we can rise again
Angels cry when innocence is shattered
And the love for your brother no longer matters
Now our faith is on the ground
The house of God is burning down
And we're standing in the ashes of our shame
When angels cry
Can we try to hear the pain when angels cry?
'Cause only love can lead to change
Try to hear the pain when angels cry
When angels cry
