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
