Oh, a man is placed upon the steps and a baby cries
And high above you can hear the church bell
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 of hope
Step out on the 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' and we're hopin'
But we're not sure how...

Ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why...
It's, ah, 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 in 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 believing...

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 why...

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'
'Cause we're not sure how
This...goes.
