Calling all Angels

Song from the movie "Pay It Forward"(2000).
Written and Performedy by Jane Siberry.

Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries

High above, you can hear the church bells start to ring

And as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in

Somewhere you could 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 weight?

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 trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure how

Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset

With such love and intensity

Why, it's ah, it's almost as if you crack the code

You'd finally understand what this all means

Oh, but if you could, do you think you would

Trade it all, all the pain and suffering?

Oh, but then you would've missed 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

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

We're trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure why

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

Walk me through this one, walk me through this one

Don't leave me alone

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels

We're trying, we're hoping, we're hurting, we're loving

We're crying, we're calling

'Cause we're not sure how this goes...
