Jane Siberry's "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 body, oh the heaviness settles in, 
Somewhere you can hear a mother sing 

Then it's one foot, then the other, as you step out onto the road, 
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 cryin' and we're hurtin', 
And we're not sure why.

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 the pain and suffering? 
Ah, but 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', 
We're hurtin', 
We're lovin' ,
We're cryin',
We're callin',
'Cause we're not sure how this goes.
