Calling All Angels

An old man is placed upon the steps and a baby cries

High above the church bells start to ring

And as the heaviness of the body, oh the heaviness, settles in

Somewhere you can hear a mother sing

Then it’s one foot, then the other as you step out on the road

Step out on the road, how much weight?

Then it’s how long and how far and how many times

Oh, before it’s too late?

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Walk me through this one, don’t leave me alone

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

We’re crying, we’re hurting, and we’re not sure why

Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset

With such love and intensity

It’s almost as if you could only crack the code

And you’d finally understand what this all means

Oh, but if you could, do you think you would

Trade in all the pain and suffering?

'cause then you'd miss the beauty of the light upon this earth

And the sweetness of the leaving

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Walk me through this one, don’t leave me alone

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

We’re trying, we’re hoping, 'cause we’re not sure why

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Walk me through this one

Don’t you leave me alone

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

We’re trying, we’re hoping, we’re hurting and we’re loving

We’re crying, we’re calling

‘Cause we’re not sure how this goes
