The Wailin' Jennys - Calling All Angels lyrics

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries And high above, the church bells start to ring And as the heaviness, the heaviness, oh it settles in And somewhere you can hear a mother sing Then it's one foot, then the other As you step out on the road You step out on that 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', we're hopin' But we're not sure how this goes Oh, and everyday you gaze upon the sunset With such love and intensity Why, it's almost as if Oh, if you could only crack the code Then we'd finally understand What this all means Oh, and if you could Do you think you would Trade it all, all the pain and suffering? Oh, but then you'd miss the beauty Of the light upon this earth 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', we're hopin' But, we're not sure how 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 lovin' and we're hurtin' We're cryin', we're callin' Because we're not sure how this goes...
