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

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?

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

Now 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
