Calling All Angels Lyrics

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah 
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Dominica, Mary Angelica 
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronella 
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir 
and all the rest  
 
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 
why it`s...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 it 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
