This is what I got just by ear. Please correct me if I am wrong. Capo 3rd Fret Intro: / On an icy road one night Young man loses his life They marked the shoulder with a cross An’ his family gathers round On a piece of Hallowed ground Their hearts are heavy with their loss As the tears fall from their eyes There’s one who’ll always sympathise. Chorus God only cries for the living ’Cause it’s the living that are left to carry on An’ all the angels up in Heaven They’re not grieving because they’re gone There’s a smile on their faces ’Cause they’re in a better place than... They’ve ever known God only cries for the living ’Cause it’s the living that are so far from home. It still makes me sad When I think of my Grand-dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When my own gradnson Wonders why I went away Maybe we’re not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land. Chorus God only cries for the living ’Cause it’s the living that are left to carry on An’ all the angels up in Heaven They’re not grieving because they’re gone There’s a smile on their faces ’Cause they’re in a better place than... They’ve ever known God only cries for the living ’Cause it’s the living that are so far from home. Yeah so far from home. /

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la douleur de la perte d'un être cher, en soulignant que Dieu, bien qu'ému par nos larmes, se concentre sur ceux qui restent. Elle rappelle que ceux qui sont partis ne souffrent plus et se trouvent dans un lieu meilleur, profitant de la comblante paix du ciel. Les vivants, eux, portent le poids du chagrin et de l'absence, mais il y a l'espoir de se retrouver un jour dans un monde promis, où les questions sur le départ trouveront enfin réponse. À travers des souvenirs douloureux, l'artiste rend hommage à ceux qui ont disparu, tout en réaffirmant l'importance de continuer à avancer malgré la tristesse.
