Lyrics : Why Angels Cry

When I'm feeling down
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?

 Notes:

• The Cypriot broadcaster gave a list with the final twenty song titles which will compete in two semifinals and then in a final which will take place on February 22 in Limassol's Eleftheria Stadium. Soon CyBC will reveal the 20 performers and the remaining names of the authors which qualified after the disqualification of the seven entries wich were already submitted to other national finals before.
  
  'Forever and For Good' was made available through the website of Patrick Babak for download back in May 2005. It is disqualified because it was published before the deadline of 1 October 2005.
