Every day a child is born
But 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 all the time, all the time
And we try to get 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 it's true
There's only certain things
That a girl can do
And we lie all the time, all the time
And we try to get by But all the while, behind all the smiles
Even angels cry Even angels cry, cry, cry
I hear you over there disappearing like a ghost
There's so much in your soul that the world will never know
If we lie all the time, all the time
And we try to get by But all the while, behind all the smiles
Even angels cry
