When Angels Cry
As the infant dies so slowly on an abandoned street
As the orphan girl stumbles down the street and falls
As the young soldier watches his best friend die too soon
As the lost child works in tears at a hopeless cause
As the young adolescent finally gives up and slowly drowns
As the boy looks on sadly at the life he will never have
Then is the time that the Angels stop their eternal flight,
fold back their wings gently with tears in their angelic eyes
and look to the heavens for help that cannot be given,
And cry.
