Florent Pagny - The Day We Made God Cry Lyrics

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.

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.
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.

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.
And we send our hatred from above
In the name of one who taught to love.
We proclaim we're worthy of this place. The
Chosen human race could
Never justify.................the day we made God cry.
