Lyrics of The Day We Made God Cry by Florent Pagny
verse
Tears falling from the sky
And how can we not know the reason why?
It took us all two thousand years of work and strife
Bringing the day we made God cry
verse
They taught us all from birth
There's only one who rules upon this earth
We know his name, we even claim we know his face
Blue eyes or black
His sorrow's our disgrace
chorus
So we lay our roads and slay the trees
To possess more than our enemies
And our means can justify the end
We'll trample on a friend so disrespectfully
chorus
And with all this anger in our hearts
We rebel and swear God plays a part
So we kill and pray to make amends
The story never ends and flags will burn again
verse
Tears falling from the sky
Under the dust, the city ceased to shine
And all the children search within their mother's eyes
"How could it be that we have made God cry?"
chorus
So we lay our roads and slay the trees
To possess more than our enemies
And our means can justify the end
We'll trample on a friend so disrespectfully
chorus
And we send our hatred from above
In the name of one who taught to love
We prochain we're worthy of this place
The chosen human race could never justify
The day we made God cry
Writer(s): Davide Esposito, Francesco De Benedittis, Paul Manners
