Cyprus: Annette Artani - Why Angels Cry
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2006, (1) semifinal [2006]
In this world of madness
You comfort all my sadness
You soothe away my pain
'Cause these are trying times
Filled with so much sorrow
I wonder if tomorrow
Will bring a brighter day
Why do the angels cry?
Why doesn't love survive?
Why do we all just pretend?
Why do the angels cry?
Innocent children die
When will it all ever end?
Ever end?
Close your eyes and dream
And visualize a rainbow
Oh, a place where you can pray for
Peace and harmony
Search your heart
And find a higher meaning
Let this be the start
A brand new beginning
Oh... talking 'bout peace and harmony
(Talking 'bout peace and harmony)
Why do the angels cry? (Why do they cry?)
Why doesn't love survive?
Why do we all just pretend?
Why do the angels cry? (Why do they cry?)
Innocent children die
When will it all ever end?
Ever end?
