Answer 1

Well i may not be right but i think the song your thinking of is called "God Only Cries" by: diamond rio.

here are the lyrics:



On an icy road one night

A 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.



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 grandson

Wonders why I went away

Maybe we're not meant to understand

Till we meet up in the Promised Land.



God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on

And 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, oh, they've ever known

God only cries for the living

'Cause it's the living that are so far from home

Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm



hope i helped!!!

It could be Wayne Watson - The Ones Left Standing Link to lyrics http://www.songlyrics.com/wayne-watson/the-ones-left-standing-lyrics/ ...................... Who on earth could ever explain the great mysteries of life

Or the mournful and untimely face of death

But as long as we remain, we grow better, even stronger

Though we'll never be the same

'Cause the ones left standing have to cry all the tears

And replay all the memories, the good and bad from the years

And we shoulder the weight of the work left to be done

And the ones left standing carry on

The peace of God will abide in the season of our sorrow

In the valley of a pain we can't describe

In the palm of His hand is a shelter from the madness

We can never really understand

'Cause the ones left standing have to cry all the tears

And replay all the memories, the good and bad from the years

And we shoulder the weight of the work left to be done

And the ones left standing carry on

And in eternity when all the mysteries are gone

It will be clear that it was our God keeping us strong

'Cause the ones left standing have to cry all the tears

And replay all the memories, the good and bad from the years.

And we shoulder the weight of the work left to be done

And the ones left standing carry on

Song: The Ones Left Standing





Who on earth could ever explain the great mysteries of life



Or the mournful and untimely face of death



But as long as we remain, we grow better, even stronger



Though we'll never be the same







'Cause the ones left standing have to cry all the tears



And replay all the memories, the good and bad from the years

And the ones left standing carry on







The peace of God will abide in the season of our sorrow



In the valley of a pain we can't describe



In the palm of His hand is a shelter from the madness



We can never really understand
