Even Angels Cry

Every day a child is born

No one knows what he's here for

Was he born a sinner

So fix him now while you still can

Turn that boy into a man

He's gotta be a winner

Everyone's in on the deal

There's only certain things

That a boy can feel

And we lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie all the time

All the time

And we try, try, try

To get by, by, by

But all the while

Behind all the smiles

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Every day a child is born

No one knows what she's here for

Was she born a body

So fix her hair and stand her tall

Or else she'll be invisible

Forget she has a heartbeat

Everyone knows that's true

There's only certain things

That a girl can do

And we lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie all the time

All the time

And we try, try, try

To get by, by, by

But all the while

Behind all the smiles

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

(Cry, cry)

Hey you over there

Disappearing like a ghost

There's so much in your soul

That the world will never know

If we lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie all the time

All the time

And we try, try, try

To get by, by, by

But all the while

Behind all the smiles

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry

Even angels cry
