Story behind the song
A song to remember Oreo and all the animals who do not get the chance to reach a happy life.
Lyrics
'Where do all the angels go?
Where do all the angels go?
Their little hearts get broken by the world
How do we protect their souls?
When human beings cannot see their worth
How can we believe our eyes?
The cruelty that breaks them as they fall
They look to us to soothe their cries
And one by one we try to catch them all
So tell me how we end this hurt?
This tragedy we live through every hour
Tell me why my love won't work
Where do angels lay their flowers?
Mighty forces move through skies
And rockets land on stars in empty space
But there's a story in your eyes
The pain I see that you have had to face
Oh my dear I'd save you if I could
You know I'd move a mountain just to be there
But I am just a teardrop in the flood
And every day the tide of hate is deeper
Oh I know you've had so little time
You didn't grow and reach what you were here for
But I will always think of you as mine
And you will be remembered as my tears fall...
