Jars of Clay
Even Angels Cry
[Verse 1]
I whisper, "You don't have to worry, we'll survive"
Forced smiles underneath the brittle, frozen light
Proof that you're alive
Cold fingers find the curve below your tired eyes
No comfort in familiar places, not this time
You hold it deep inside
[Chorus]
Oh Sister, if you wake up in the night
Walls have fallen letting in the light
No need to worry
Baby, even angels cry
[Verse 2]
No flood warnings, still the waters rise
Flowers through asphalt, diamonds in the pockets of your eyes
You turn your face and hide
I saw a woman with ribbons in her hair
Old and lonely, so beautiful I had to stop and stare
The well will not run dry
[Chorus]
Oh Sister, if you wake up in the night
Walls have fallen letting in the light
No need to worry
Baby, even angels cry
[Chorus]
Oh Sister, if you wake up in the night
Walls have fallen letting in the light
No need to worry
Baby, even angels cry
Sister, if you wake up in the night
Walls have fallen letting in the light
It'll be alright
Baby, even angels cry
[Outro]
Baby, please don't worry
Not tonight
