God Only Cries Lyrics
On an icy road one night a young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
And his family gathers round on a piece of hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their lossAs the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathizeGod only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in heaven
They're not grieving because they're goneThere's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than oh, they've ever known
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from homeIt still makes me sad when I think of my grand dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come when my own gradnson
Wonders why I went awayMaybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised LandGod only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in heaven
They're not grieving because they're goneThere's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than oh, they've ever known
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home
