oh a man is placed upon the steps, and a baby cries
high above you can hear the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness oh the heaviness the body 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? how much?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times ohhh 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..
ah and every day you gaze upon the sunset
such love, intensity -- why
it's a...it's almost as if
you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand
what this all means
ah but if you could...do you think you would
trade it all--all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and, and the sweetness of the leaving
calling all angels~calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
callin' all angels ~callin' all angels
we're tryin' we're hopin'
but we're not sure why
callin all angels~callin all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
callin' all angels ~ callin' all angels
we're tryin' we're hurtin'
we're lovin' we're cryin' we're callin'
cuz we're not sure how this goes
