I lift you up why can't you see?
For you, Heaven it cries
I lift you up why can't you see?
Tell me am I wasting my time
I've seen the wars, I've cried the tears
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men
For you, Heaven it cries, Heaven it cries
The miracles that you create were sabotaged
(Heaven it cries)
By those who hate, why?
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men
For you, Heaven it cries, Heaven it cries
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men
For you, Heaven it cries, Heaven it cries
Tell me am I wasting my time
Show me why are we all so blind
I've seen you falling to your knees
For you, Heaven it cries
I've seen you falling to your knees
The value of the common man
The flames will not set you ablaze, this the word
For you, Heaven it cries
I've lived a million years
I've lived a million years
Tell me is it all in my mind
(Heaven it cries)
For you, Heaven it cries, Heaven it cries
I've seen the wars, I've cried the tears
Mary, Mary full of grace show me your love
I lift you up why can't you see?
Does not live up to your master plan
I've seen you falling to your knees
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned
I've seen the wars, I've cried the tears
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you
I've lived a million years
Fear not, for I have redeemed you
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men
I've seen you falling to your knees
I've seen the wars, I've cried the tears
Show me what I'm going to find
I lift you up why can't you see?
And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men
For you, Heaven it cries
I have summoned you by name, you are mine
I've lived a million years
Show me why are we all so blind
And let it reign forever
