Calling All Angels
written by: Jane Siberry with K.D.Lang

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
And high above him
you hear the church bells start to ring.
And as the heaviness,
the heaviness finally settles in,
A mother starts to sing.
Then it's one foot then the other
as you step along the road
Steppin' on the road,
how much weight, how much weight?
And 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 trying, and we’re hurting,
And we’re not sure why.
Oh and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity.
Why it's almost as if,
if you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand
what it all means.
Oh but if you could, do you think you would
Have traded all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you would've missed
the beauty of the light upon this earth
And the sweetness of 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 trying, we're hoping
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 trying, we're hoping,
We're hurting, we're loving,
We're crying, we're calling,
But we're not sure
how this goes.
