Calling You Out Lyrics

even as my breath goes in and out of time
even as my train of thought goes off its track
even as i mediate the conversation
between the angel and the devil on my back
there's a feeling that we're both supposed to be here
that we have miles to go before we understand
i'm calling you out
calling your name
calling in prayer
that you'll feel the same
i'm calling you out
you're calling me names
i will prove worthy
i will prove worthy
one of these days
we've all got our share of sorrow in our lives
we've all got our failures keeping us in check
but the measure of the mettle of mere mortals
is how we swim with albatrosses on our backs
we could stay here hidden safely in our hovels
or we could face the world with bruised but open hands
i'm calling you out...
