[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
Walk me through this world
Don't leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
We're cryin'
We're hurtin'
And we're not sure why

[Verse 2]
Oh, every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
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 the pain and suffering?
'Cause then you'd miss the beauty of the light upon this earth
And the sweetness of the leavin'
[Chorus]
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
Walk me through this world
Don't leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
We're tryin'
We're hopin'
'Cause we're not sure why
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
Walk me through this world
Don't you leave me alone
Calling all angels
Calling all angels
We're tryin'
We're hopin'
We're hurting
And we're lovin'
We're cryin'
And we're callin'
'Cause we're not sure how this goes (Mmm)
