Verse 1:
G G               G      C
  Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, and a baby cries
G            C           G       G
 And high above, you can hear the church bells start to ring
G    G         C     C
And the heaviness, oh the heaviness, down it settles
G           C          G G
And somewhere you can hear a mother sing
     Am           Am
Then it's one foot, and then the other
    Am       Am  G
As you step out on the road
  C
You step out on that road
G        G
How much weight? How much?
     Am
Then it's how long and how far
  Am    Am   Am
And how many times?
D   C       G/B
Oh, before it's too late...

Chorus:
D      C

C      G   G
Calling all angels
    D        D

But we're not sure how it goes

Verse 2:
    C         C
Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
     G  C       G G
With such love and intensity
     G        G              C   C
Why it's, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
                   G
And then you might finally understand what it all
      C   C G
What it all means
    Am
Oh, and if you could
    Am
Do you think you would
Am     Am      G C         G G
Trade it all, all the pain   and suffering?
    Am         Am
Oh, but then you'd miss the beauty
    Am       Am      D
Of the light upon this earth, and...
     C       G/B   D
And the sweetness of believin'
