Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, and a baby cries
High above you can hear the church bells start to ring
And the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
Somewhere you can hear a mother sing
Then it's one foot and then the other
As you step out on the road of hope
Step out, 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 it goes
Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why it's, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
Then you might finally understand what it all, what it all means
Oh, if you could, do you think you would
Trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, and 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 tryin' and we're hopin' but we're not sure
Calling all angels, calling all angels, 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 hurtin' we're lovin'
We're cryin' we're callin' we're not sure how it goes
High above you can hear the church bells start to ring
And the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
Somewhere you can hear a mother sing
Then it's one foot and then the other
As you step out on the road of hope
Step out, 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 it goes
Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why it's, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
Then you might finally understand what it all, what it all means
Oh, if you could, do you think you would
Trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, and 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 tryin' and we're hopin' but we're not sure
Calling all angels, calling all angels, 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 hurtin' we're lovin'
We're cryin' we're callin' we're not sure how it goes
