EVERYWHERE I GO THESE DAYS
THERE’S ANGER MEETIN’ ME
IT’S LOOKIN’ ME SQUARE IN THE FACE
‘TIL RED IS ALL I SEE
I’M AFRAID IT WILL HAVE ITS’ WAY
AND I’LL TURN INTO SOMETHIN’ I WON’T RECOGNIZE
SO IN THIS HATEFUL HOUR
COULD A HIGHER POWER
MAKE PEACE OF MIND MATERIALIZE

CHORUS:
I’M CALLING HEAVEN DOWN
I NEED SOME ANGELS NOW
I’M IN A THANKLESS CAUSE
THAT AIN’T WORTH FIGHTIN’ FOR
SEND ME A MIGHTY ARMY
WAVING SILVER SWORDS
I’M CALLING HEAVEN DOWN

ALL THESE WORLDLY THINGS I OWN
COME AT A HEAVY COST
WHAT USED TO BE MY HUMBLE HOME
HAS BECOME PARADISE LOST
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I SPIN MY WHEELS
CHASIN’ EMPTY DREAMS THAT STEAL MY TIME AWAY
COULD SOMEONE SHED SOME LIGHT
CAUSE THIS AIN’T WORTH THE PRICE
I’M TIRED OF ALWAYS HAVIN’ HELL TO PAY

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I NEED STRONGER HANDS TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND
JUST WHO MY ENEMIES ARE
SO I’M CRYING OUT IN THESE KILLING FIELDS OF DOUBT
I’M READY FOR A CHANGE OF HEART

REPEAT CHORUS
