I need a sign to let me know you're hereAll of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphereI need to know that things are gonna look up'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cupWhen there is no place safe and no safe place to put my headWhen you can feel the world shake from the words that I said And I'm calling all angelsAnd I'm calling all you angels And I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I need a sign to let me know you're here'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clearI want a reason for the way things have to beI need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me And I'm calling all angelsAnd I'm calling all you angels When children have to play inside so they don't disappearWhile private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for yearsAnd football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreamsIn a world where all we want is only what we want until it's ours And I'm calling all angelsAnd I'm calling all you angelsAnd I'm calling all angels(I won't give up if you don't give up)And I'm calling all you angels(I won't give up if you don't give up)Calling all you angels(I won't give up if you don't give up)Calling all you angels(I won't give up if you don't give up)Calling all you angels
