Hurting Angels

An angel cries
Every time
A soul gives up
And ends it's time
Here on earth
And in the air
An angel cries
For our despair

An angel hurts
Every time
A lonely soul
Commits a crime
Against their own
Imagined stain
An angel hurts
For all our pain

An angel weeps
Every time
A soul's hope dies
Before it's time
And cannot see
It's beauty within
An angel weeps
For what might have been
