[Verse]
The sky split wide but gave no sign
Your silence deafened this heart of mine
Bought our faith with tears of gold
Wasn’t this the story we were told
[Chorus]
Why did you let them go
Where did they run
The good ones fall before their race is done
All I see now is their shadows below
Oh why did you let them go
[Verse 2]
You built the world in seven days
But couldn’t stop this cruel cascade
The candles burn while prayers break
You knew the cost but let hearts ache
[Chorus]
Why did you let them go
Where did they run
The good ones fall before their race is done
All I see now is their shadows below
Oh why did you let them go
[Bridge]
I don’t get angels
I don’t get wings
I don’t get your plan or the pain it brings
The echoes scream louder than your name
What kind of love ignites this flame
[Verse 3]
The truth is harsh
The stars won’t speak
No answers found in the strong or weak
If heaven’s full then lock the gate
But this here loss is a life too late
