Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I miss you dearly
Can you hear me on your cloud?

All of my life 
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I have been kneeling
And praying to hear a sound 

All of my life 
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

All of my life 
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Day by day
Through the years
Make my way
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Make my way
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Day by day
