Lyrics The Wailin’ Jennys – Calling All Angels

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, but if you could
Do you think you would
Trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you’d miss the beauty
Of the light upon this earth

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…
