When I was a young boy
Looking at the stars
I wondered why the angels cry
They cry for you
They cry for me
And I know my time is short in this world
When the angel sheds his tears
He sheds them for you and me
Cries the tears of ages
Crying for you and me
Time is short my friend
We must repent
Judgment day is close
How can we make peace on earth?
We most take our friends and family
Inside us all
When the angel sheds his tears
He sheds it for you and me
Take my hand my friend
Follow me to heaven
When the angels cry
Hold my hand tonight
