wondering

a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
and high above you the church bells start to ring
and the heaviness oh the heaviness the body settles in
somewhere a mother starts to sing

then it's one foot then the other as you step out on the road home
still wonderin'
how much weight? how much weight?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times 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'
and we're not sure how

and every day you gaze upon the sunset
with such love and intensity
it's almost
it's almost as if
if you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand what this all means

but if you could
do you think you would
trade in all your pain and suffering
cuz then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the sweetness of the leaving

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
callin' all angels
callin' 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
callin' all angels
callin' all angels
we're tryin'
we're hopin'

we're not sure how this goes
