[Verse 1]
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
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?

[Chorus]
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
Walk me through this world
Don't leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
'Cause we're tryin'
We're hoping
We're not sure how it goes

[Verse 2]
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, but if you could, do you think you would trade it all
All the pain and suffering?
Oh, and then you'd miss the beauty of the light upon this earth
And, and the sweetness of the leaving
[Chorus]
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
Walk me through this world
Don't leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
'Cause we're tryin'
We're hoping
We're not sure
Calling all angels (Calling all angels)
Calling all angels (Calling all angels)
Walk me through this world
Don't leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
'Cause we're tryin'
We're hoping
We're hurting
We're loving
We're cryin'
We're callin'
We're not sure how it goes
