A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
|
And high above, the church bells start to ring
|
And as the heaviness, the heaviness, oh it settles in
|
And somewhere you can hear a mother sing
|
|
Then it's one foot, then the other
|
As you step out on the road
|
You step out on that road
|
How much weight? How much?
|
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 tryin', we're hopin'
|
But we're not sure how this goes
|
|
Oh, and everyday you gaze upon the sunset
|
With such love and intensity
|
Why, it's almost as if
|
Oh, if you could only crack the code
|
Then we'd finally understand
|
What this all means
|
|
Oh, but if you could
|
Do you think you would
|
Trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
|
Oh, but then you'd miss the beauty
|
Of the light upon this earth
|
And the sweetness of 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 tryin', we're hopin'
|
But, we're not sure how
|
Calling all angels
|
Calling all angels
|
Walk me through this one
|
Don't leave me alone
|
Calling all angels
|
Calling all angels
|
We're tryin', we're hopin'
|
We're lovin' and we're hurtin'
|
We're cryin', we're callin'
|
Because we're not sure how this goes...
