K.D. Lang - Calling All Angels Lyrics

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir and all the rest

A man is placed upon the steps and baby cries
High above you can hear the church bells start to ring
And as the heaviness, oh, the heaviness the bodies 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? How much?
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' but we're not sure how

Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity, why?
It's a, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
Then you'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
And the, and the sweetness of the 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 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 hurtin', we're lovin'
We're cryin', we're callin' 'cause we're not sure how this goes
