~ Calling All Angels ~
The lyrics here are as the song is
sung by Jane Siberry with K.D. Lang
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 you can hear
The church bells start to ring.
And the heaviness, the heaviness,
Oh that settles in,
Somewhere you can hear a mother sing.
Then it's one foot then the other
As you step out on the road;
Steppin' 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?
Callin' all angels
Callin' 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...
And every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why it's almost as if,
If you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand what this all means.
Ah, but if you could...
Do you think you would
Trade it all
All the pain and suffering?
Ah, but then you would've missed
The beauty of the light upon this earth
And the sweetness of the leaving.
Callin' all angels
Callin' 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....
Callin' all angels....
Callin' all angels
Callin' all angels....
Callin' all angels
Walk me through this one....
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.........
A Special Note From The Website Owner:
"Calling All Angels" is an astonishing song--
It's about being helpless and hopeful at the
same time, which pretty much sums up the human
condition says Kristen Mirenda, a 29-year-old
web producer for Children's Television Workshop.
