God Only Cries

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 loss As the tears fall from their eyes There's one who'll always sympathize God 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 gone There'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 It 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 away Maybe we're not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land God 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 gone There'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
